The analysis of high-capacity quantum secure direct communication using polarization and orbital angular momentum of photons

Linyi Li, Tie-Jun Wang, Chuan Xi Wang

Higher channel capacity and noise elimination are the key requirements for the implementation of long-distance quantum communication. As the additional degrees of freedom (DoF) of photons can be employed to achieve higher channel capacity and security beyond the polarizations DoF of photons, the photonic qubits are always employed as the flying qubits in quantum communication and quantum information processing. Here, exploiting the multiple DoFs of photons, we present an efficient quantum secure direct communication protocol based on the coding and manipulation of qubits on both the polarization and the orbital angular momentum of photons. Also, the numerical simulation is studied to further clarify the improvement of the channel capacity and the security. It is found that the channel capacity and the error rate (caused by eavesdropping) of the QSDC protocol which encoded on the polarization DoF and the OAM DoF is significantly higher than that of coding on only polarization DoF. We believe this work could provide more evidence for the applications of higher-dimensional qubits in quantum information science.

Robust Quantum Communication Using a Polarization-Entangled Photon Pair

Jean-Christian Boileau, Raymond Laflamme, Martin Laforest +1 more

Noise and imperfection of realistic devices are major obstacles for implementing quantum cryptography. In particular, birefringence in optical fibers leads to decoherence of qubits encoded in photon polarization. We show how to overcome this problem by doing single qubit quantum communication without a shared spatial reference frame and precise timing. Quantum information will be encoded in pairs of photons using tag operations, which corresponds to the time delay of one of the polarization modes. This method is robust against the phase instability of the interferometers despite the use of time bins. Moreover synchronized clocks are not required in the ideal no photon loss case as they are necessary only to label the different encoded qubits.
