Quantum Network Coding Based on Controlled Teleportation
Tao Shang, Xiaojie Zhao, Jianwei Liu
This letter proposes new quantum network coding schemes based on controlled teleportation to control the decoding process of receivers in a butterfly network. Firstly, a quantum network coding scheme with two controllers is proposed based on the paradigm XQQ (crossing two qubits) protocol. Then the other scheme based on the perfect quantum network coding protocol with prior entanglement is designed for high fidelity. By introducing the controller, our schemes realize that the decoding process of unicast stream can be controlled, which is helpful to extend these schemes to a general network with unicast or multicast. Our schemes also provide a convenient model to combine authentication into quantum network and would be significant to enhance the security of quantum communication.
