Fault-tolerant controlled quantum secure direct communication over a collective quantum noise channel

Abstract

This work proposes controlled quantum secure direct communication (CQSDC) over an ideal channel. Based on the proposed CQSDC, two fault-tolerant CQSDC protocols that are robust under two kinds of collective noises, collective-dephasing noise and collective-rotation noise, respectively, are constructed. Due to the use of quantum entanglement of the Bell state (or logical Bell state) as well as dense coding, the proposed protocols provide easier implementation as well as better qubit efficiency than other CQSDC protocols. Furthermore, the proposed protocols are also free from correlation-elicitation attack and other well-known attacks.

Fault tolerant deterministic secure quantum communication using logical Bell states against collective noise

Chao Wang, Jianwei Liu, Xiu‐Bo Chen +2 more

This study proposes two novel fault tolerant deterministic secure quantum communication (DSQC) schemes resistant to collective noise using logical Bell states. Either DSQC scheme is constructed based on a new coding function, which is designed by exploiting the property of the corresponding logical Bell states immune to collective-dephasing noise and collective-rotation noise, respectively. The secret message can be encoded by two simple unitary operations and decoded by merely performing Bell measurements, which can make the proposed scheme more convenient in practical applications. Moreover, the strategy of one-step quanta transmission, together with the technique of decoy logical qubits checking not only reduces the influence of other noise existing in a quantum channel, but also guarantees the security of the communication between two legitimate users. The final analysis shows that the proposed schemes are feasible and robust against various well-known attacks over the collective noise channel.

Fault tolerant quantum secure direct communication with quantum encryption against collective noise

Wei Huang, Qiaoyan Wen, Heng-Yue Jia +2 more

We present two novel quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocols over different collective-noise channels. Different from the previous QSDC schemes over collective-noise channels, which are all source-encrypting protocols, our two protocols are based on channel-encryption. In both schemes, two authorized users first share a sequence of EPR pairs as their reusable quantum key. Then they use their quantum key to encrypt and decrypt the secret message carried by the decoherence-free states over the collective-noise channel. In theory, the intrinsic efficiencies of both protocols are high since there is no need to consume any entangled states including both the quantum key and the information carriers except the ones used for eavesdropping checks. For checking eavesdropping, the two parties only need to perform two-particle measurements on the decoy states during each round. Finally, we make a security analysis of our two protocols and demonstrate that they are secure.

Faithful quantum secure direct communication protocol against collective noise

Yang Jing, Chuan Xi Wang, Ru Zhang

An improved quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocol is proposed in this paper. Blocks of entangled photon pairs are transmitted in two steps in which secret messages are transmitted directly. The single logical qubits and unitary operations under decoherence free subspaces are presented and the generalized Bell states are constructed which are immune to the collective noise. Two steps of qubit transmission are used in this protocol to guarantee the security of communication. The security of the protocol against various attacks are discussed.

Fault tolerant controlled quantum dialogue against collective noise*

Li-Wei Chang, Yuqing Zhang, Xiao-xiong Tian +2 more

Quantum system is inevitably affected by the external environment in the real world. Two controlled quantum dialogue protocols are put forward based on logical χ-type states under collective noise environment. One is against collective-dephasing noise, while the other is against collective-rotation noise. Compared with existing protocols, there exist several outstanding advantages in our proposed protocols: Firstly, the χ-type state is utilized as quantum channels, it possesses better entanglement properties than GHZ state, W state as well as cluster state, which make it difficult to be destroyed by local operations. Secondly, two kinds of logical χ-type states are constructed by us in theory, which can be perfectly immune to the effects of collective noise. Thirdly, the controller can be offline after quantum distribution and permission announcement, without waiting for all the participants to complete the information coding. Fourthly, the security analysis illuminates that our protocols can not only be free from the information leakage, but also resist against the intercept-and-resend attack, the entanglement-and-measure attack, the modification attack, the conspiring attack, and especially the dishonest controller’s attacks.

集体噪声信道上错误容忍量子隐写

Tian-Yu Ye

In this paper, two fault tolerant quantum steganography (QS) protocols over collective noise channels are proposed. One is against collective-dephasing noise, and the other is against collective-rotation noise. The logical Bell states (i.e., four-qubit DF states) are used to overcome these two kinds of collective noise. The quantum covert channel for distributing secret messages within the normal quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) channel is built up by swapping entanglement between two logical Bell states. Bell state measurements rather than four-qubit joint measurements are used for decoding. Moreover, the channel capacity is up to four bits per covert communication. Detailed analysis turns out that both the imperceptibility and the security can be guaranteed.

Quantum Secure Direct Communication Protocol over the Collective Rotation Noisy Channel

Pan Ri-jing

A two-way quantum secure direct communication protocol against a collective rotation noise is presented.The protocol encodes one logical bit in two-qubit noiseless states,and so it can function over a quantum channel subjected to collective rotation.Since there is no basis mismatch in the decoding process,the intrinsic high efficiency is achieved.Moreover,the security of the proposed protocol against some common attacks is analysed,which shows that it is secure in theory.
