EFFICIENT FAULT-TOLERANT QUANTUM SECRET SHARING OVER TWO COLLECTIVE-NOISE CHANNELS

Abstract

Based on the quantum key distribution protocol [X. H. Li, F. G. Deng and H. Y. Zhou, Phys. Rev. A78 (2008) 022321], we proposed two efficient fault-tolerant quantum secret sharing schemes over two collective-noise channels, in which the sharers can establish a key with the sender only if all the sharers collaborate together. Noiseless subspaces are composed of two Bell states based on the hypothesis of collective noise and the spatial degree of freedom is introduced to insure the security. Although entangled states are used to encode the key bits, the sharers are only required to perform single-particle product operations or single-particle product measurement, making the schemes convenient with current technique. As there is no basis mismatch during the measurement, almost all of the samples can be used to share the key.

Fault-Tolerate Three-Party Quantum Secret Sharing over a Collective-Noise Channel

Chunyan Li, Yansong Li

We present a fault-tolerate three-party quantum secret sharing (QSS) scheme over a collective-noise channel. Decoherence-free subspaces are used to tolerate two noise modes, a collective-dephasing channel and a collective-rotating channel, respectively. In this scheme, the boss uses two physical qubits to construct a logical qubit which acts as a quantum channel to transmit one bit information to her two agents. The agents can get the information of the private key established by the boss only if they collaborate. The boss Alice encodes information with two unitary operations. Only single-photon measurements are required to rebuilt Alice's information and detect the security by the agents Bob and Charlie, not Bell-state measurements. Moreover, Almost all of the photons are used to distribute information, and its success efficiency approaches 100% in theory.

FAULT-TOLERATE QUANTUM KEY DISTRIBUTION OVER A COLLECTIVE-NOISE CHANNEL

Chunyan Li, Yansong Li

We present two quantum key distribution (QKD) schemes over a collective-noise channel. Each logical qubit, composed of two physical qubits with a decoherence-free subspace, is immune to a collective noise and can carry one bit of information in theory. Although the receiver should prepare entangled two-photon quantum systems, he can read out the information encoded by the sender with two unitary operations on two photons, resorting to only two single-photon measurements, not Bell-state measurements, which makes these protocols simpler than others in experiment. These two QKD protocols are deterministic, not random, which makes the classical information exchanged be reduced largely. Also, they have a high intrinsic efficiency.

Efficient quantum key distribution over a collective noise channel

Xihan Li, Fu‐Guo Deng, Hong-Yu Zhou

We present two efficient quantum key distribution schemes over two different collective-noise channels. The accepted hypothesis of collective noise is that photons travel inside a time window small compared to the variation of noise. Noiseless subspaces are made up of two Bell states and the spatial degree of freedom is introduced to form two nonorthogonal bases. Although these protocols resort to entangled states for encoding the key bit, the receiver is only required to perform single-particle product measurements and there is no basis mismatch. Moreover, the detection is passive as the receiver does not switch his measurements between two conjugate measurement bases to get the key.

FAULT TOLERANT QUANTUM KEY DISTRIBUTION BASED ON QUANTUM DENSE CODING WITH COLLECTIVE NOISE

Xihan Li, Bao‐Kui Zhao, Yu‐Bo Sheng +2 more

We present two robust quantum key distribution protocols against two kinds of collective noise, following some ideas in quantum dense coding. Three-qubit entangled states are used as quantum information carriers, two of which form the logical qubit, which is invariant with a special type of collective noise. The information is encoded on logical qubits with four unitary operations, which can be read out faithfully with Bell-state analysis on two physical qubits and a single-photon measurement on the other physical qubit, not three-photon joint measurements. Two bits of information are exchanged faithfully and securely by transmitting two physical qubits through a noisy channel. When the losses in the noisy channel is low, these protocols can be used to transmit a secret message directly in principle.

Universal Three-Party Quantum Secret Sharing Against Collective Noise

Yu‐Guang Yang, Yuan Wang, Yi-Wei Teng +1 more

we present a robust and universal quantum secret sharing protocol with four-qubit decoherence-free (DF) states against collective noise. The transmission's safety is ensured by the nonorthogonality of the noiseless states traveling on the quantum channel. Although this scheme uses entangled states for encoding, only single-particle product measurements are required.

Fault tolerant channel-encrypting quantum dialogue against collective noise

Ye Tian

In this paper,two fault tolerant channel-encrypting quantum dialogue(QD)protocols against collective noise are presented.One is against collective-dephasing noise,while the other is against collective-rotation noise.The decoherent-free states,each of which is composed of two physical qubits,act as traveling states combating collective noise.Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs,which play the role of private quantum key,are securely shared between two participants over a collective-noise channel in advance.Through encryption and decryption with private quantum key,the initial state of each traveling two-photon logical qubit is privately shared between two participants.Due to quantum encryption sharing of the initial state of each traveling logical qubit,the issue of information leakage is overcome.The private quantum key can be repeatedly used after rotation as long as the rotation angle is properly chosen,making quantum resource economized.As a result,their information-theoretical efficiency is nearly up to 66.7%.The proposed QD protocols only need single-photon measurements rather than two-photon joint measurements for quantum measurements.Security analysis shows that an eavesdropper cannot obtain anything useful about secret messages during the dialogue process without being discovered.Furthermore,the proposed QD protocols can be implemented with current techniques in experiment.
