Published Mar 1, 2020• 15 citations
Publisher

Abstract

We provide a very broad outline for a new research area within the domain for Future Antennas, namely quantum antenna (q-antenna) theory and their applications to building secure digital communication lines. The proposed quantum antenna theory purports to presenting a natural extension of RF antennas in classical wireless to the now established field of quantum communications. The paper provides a bird's eye view on the subject, highlighting the main themes and the expected results and benefits of such research domain.

Analysis and design of secure quantum communication systems utilizing electromagnetic Schrodinger coherent states

Said M. Mikki, Mark Herde

We develop a general mathematical formalism and computational method suitable for analyzing the performance of quantum communication systems utilizing coherent radiation states (Schrodinger states). The key motivation is to demonstrate how the analysis and design of quantum communication systems may benefit from the integration of the physical structure (here, the optical quantum coherent state) with the quantum signal processing aspects (here, quantum estimation and prediction theory). As an application, we show how the quantum-electromagnetic signature of optical radiation emitted by quantum antennas, the Schrodinger's coherent state structure, may be exploited to jointly design the transmitter and receiver of a K-ary digital communication link. We present a concrete example comprised of a quantum quadrature-amplitude modulation (QAM) system (with ), including a complete description of the required general design principles developed from quantum mechanics and the quantum antenna's radiated coherent state structure. The simulation results illustrate improvement in spectral efficiency due to the use of over smaller values of K. We also compare the quantum antenna-based link performance with classical QAM utilizing classical antenna-based communication systems and report superiority of the quantum link over the classical version. To provide for security protection, our system is equipped with a quantum encryption protocol for quantum key distribution, and a demonstration of the complete quantum QAM system with encryption is presented. The main message of the article is the fruitfulness of incorporating a multidisciplinary approach to our thinking about electromagnetic wireless systems through the joint deployment of electromagnetic, quantum, and communication theories in the design and development process of current and future advanced technologies.

Exploring The Quantum Frontier: Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions In Quantum Communication Technologies

Misra Shreshtha, Dixit Vimal, Shukla Vikas

Quantum Communication becomes a new field of communication technologies with highly diverse applications, and much complexity, and is a promising area deserving further exploration. This paper aims to provide a complete expository of quantum communication, describing the principles that govern it, which is quite different from classical communication. However, the paper also reflects on how the industrialization of quantum communication was achieved and examples of funded projects that were developed. Quantum communication is then considered in the context of $6 G$ networks, IoT, government, and defense to show the typical use of quantum communication in future information processing and secure communication domains. The paper aims to integrate the most recent developments, difficulties, and future outlook of the subject, hence serving as a thorough manual for researchers and practitioners operating in a complicated landscape of quantum communication technologies.

Applications of Optical Quantum Radiation Coherent States in Physical-Layer Security

Said M. Mikki

The subject of this work is cross-disciplinary and involves interaction between electromagnetic theory, quantum physics, digital communications, and security studies. It has been written with emphasis on addressing the widest possible audience so we included extensive literature for references and the main ideas were explained from first principles whenever possible. The main message of the paper is the fruitfulness of incorporating a multidisciplinary approach to our thinking about electromagnetic wireless systems through the joint deployment of electromagnetic, quantum, and communication theories in the design and development process of current and future advanced technologies.

Practical Applications of Quantum Wireless Communication

Deepti Chopra, Praveen Arora

The evolution of wireless communication has been boon to the digital transformation worldwide, that connects billions of devices and enables everything ranging from mobile broadband to the Internet of Things (IoT). The drawbacks due to use of radio frequency (RF) include: the scarcity of spectral resources, inherent security vulnerabilities, and the physical limits of classical information theory. These shortcomings are overcome by the novel and revolutionary field of quantum information science.
