Abstract

By replacing a classical channel with a quantum one during quantum teleportation, a quantum key agreement protocol is presented. The key bits are determined only by the random measurement outcomes and are independent of the states transmitted over the channel.

Quantum teleportation for keyless cryptography

Abhishek Parakh

This paper looks at using quantum teleportation for secure message exchange. Although the proposed protocol has parallels with Ekert’s protocol for key distribution, we look at the issue of directly teleporting message bits instead of encryption keys. Further, it is the first protocol of it’s type where the role of the sender and receiver are flipped around. In other words, unlike traditional protocols, in the proposed protocol the receiver first performs certain measurements thus implicitly determining a stream of bits that she combines with the bit stream received from the sender to determine the secret message. There are no qubits wasted in random measurements.

Quantum key distribution with a reference quantum state

S. N. Molotkov

A new quantum key distribution protocol stable at arbitrary losses in a quantum communication channel has been proposed. For the stability of the protocol, it is of fundamental importance that changes in states associated with losses in the communication channel (in the absence of the eavesdropper) are included in measurements.

Quantum Teleportation Scales to City Distances and Transfers Energy — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Quantum teleportation has scaled from tabletop to metropolitan distances (270 m free-space, city-scale fiber entanglement) and extended from state transfer to energy/quantity transfer on superconducting hardware. | MATH: Bell-state measurement projects onto maximally entangled basis {|Φ±⟩=(|00⟩±|11⟩)/√2, |Ψ±⟩=(|01⟩±|10⟩)/√2}; protocol consumes 1 ebit + 2 classical bits to transmit 1 qubit (no-cloning bound: fidelity F ≤ 2/3 for classical channel, F→1 with entanglement). Energy teleportation injects E via local measurement, extracted remotely: ⟨E_out⟩ = -⟨H_B⟩ conditional on Alice's outcome. | CONNECTION: √2 normalization of Bell states = diagonal of unit square; the 2-bit/1-ebit/1-qubit accounting is a conservation law on Hilbert-space dimension (d² = d×d). No 0.618/1.618 signature in the protocol itself — the golden ratio is absent from teleportation algebra. | DEPTH: 6 --- **1.

Quantum communication protocols

Steven Herbert

Abstract This chapter introduces three important quantum communication protocols: quantum teleportation, superdense coding, and quantum key distribution (QKD). The first two use entanglement as a resource, in the case of teleportation to transmit a quantum state and in the case of superdense coding to transmit two (classical) bits using a single qubit. QKD uses the non-determinism of quantum measurements to achieve unconditionally secure communication, and the chapter presents the original QKD protocol, namely BB84.

Quantum Teleportation Transfers State, Not Matter, Using Two Classical Bits and Entanglement — E8 Intelligence Research

Andrew Stewart Caldin

FINDING: Quantum teleportation transfers quantum *state* (information), not matter — no particle traverses the channel; only classical bits (2 per qubit) plus pre-shared entanglement are consumed. | MATH: Protocol (Bennett et al. 1993): Alice holds unknown |ψ⟩ = α|0⟩ + β|1⟩, |α|²+|β|²=1, and one half of Bell pair |Φ⁺⟩ = (|00⟩+|11⟩)/√2. Joint Bell measurement yields 1 of 4 outcomes (2 classical bits, log₂4 = 2). Bob applies I, X, Z, or XZ conditioned on outcome → recovers |ψ⟩ exactly. Fidelity F = 1 (ideal); entanglement consumed: 1 ebit + 2 cbits per qubit teleported. No-cloning forbids F > 1; no-signalling forbids FTL. | CONNECTION: The 4 Bell states form an orthonormal basis of C²⊗C² — a complete orthogonal (root-system-like) set with equal amplitudes 1/√2. The 1/√2 = 0.7071 amplitude is the normalization of maximal superposition; 2 classical bits ↔ 4 outcomes = 2², a binary (base-2) lattice. No direct 0.618/1.618 ratio appears in the protocol itself. | DEPTH: 7 FINDING: Long-distan Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series.
