On the Impossibility of Keeping Out Eavesdroppers Using Only Classical Physics

Terry B. Bollinger

Published Jan 23, 2006• 3 citations
Publisher

Abstract

When someone attempts to sneak in an observation on an entangled set of particles in the here-and-now, the quantum result looks just as if a record of that transgression was captured, sent back in time to the original generation of the entangled particles, and then rebroadcast for everyone in the future to see.

Experiment demonstrates quantum entanglement between atoms a meter apart

Quantum entanglement can't be mimicked by classical objects. That's what makes it at once so problematic for philosophers and so promising for computer scientists.

Quantum computers scale up: Constructing a universal quantum computer with a large number of qubits will be hard but not impossible

R. Versluis, Chad Hagen

The classic Rubik's Cube has 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 different states. You might well wonder how people are able to take a scrambled cube and bring it back to its original configuration, with just one color showing on each side. Some people are even able to do this blindfolded after viewing the scrambled cube once. Such feats are possible because there's a basic set of rules that always allow someone to restore the cube to its original state in 20 moves or less.

Is Entanglement Signaling Really Impossible

Jack Sarfatti

Quantum entanglement cannot be used as a communication channel without an auxiliary light speed limited classical key to unlock the message at the receiver? Hermitian observables guarantee orthogonal sender base states that erase any nonlocal influence of the sender settings on the detection probabilities at the receiver. However, this is no longer true when the entangled whole has different macro-quantum coherent Glauber sender states. Glauber states are non-orthogonal eigenstates of the non-Hermitian photon destruction operator. The Born probability interpretation breaks down because of phase rigidity (P.W. Anderson's More is different). This is a new regime that is to orthodox quantum theory what general relativity is to special relativity. Antony Valentini has argued that the breakdown of the Born probability rule entails signal non locality (aka entanglement signals). The space-time interval between the sending and the receiving irreversible measurements is irrelevant depending only on the free will of the local observers. That is, this is a pre-metrical topological information effect. There is asymmetry between the sending and the receiving. Therefore, there is no ambiguity between active (retro) cause and passive effect. In particular a message can be decoded back from the future before it is sent, but only if it will be sent in a globally self-consistent Novikov time loop.

Enhancing Data Security in Transmission Through Quantum Key Distribution in Cryptography

Sulakshana Sagar Malwade, Shilpa Choudhary, Santosh H. Lavate +3 more

As the world becomes more computerized, keeping data transfer safe has become very important. Quantum computers and other strong computers have the ability to break classical encryption methods, even though they are widely used. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a new way to protect data. It uses quantum physics to make sure that the sharing of cryptographic keys is safe. The aim of this study is to look into how QKD can be used to improve the security of data transfer. The suggested method combines QKD with current encryption standards to create a safe and effective way to send data. The method includes setting up a key sharing system based on QKD and then using symmetric encryption algorithms to keep the data being sent safe. The system is tried in different communication settings to see how well it protects against spying and "man-in-the-middle" attacks. The study's results show that QKD greatly improves the safety of sending data by keeping the cryptography keys secret. The results show that QKD has the potential to stop people from getting in without permission and find any attempts to change the keys while they are being sent out. The table below shows performance numbers that show how well QKD works in real-world situations. It shows how well communication speeds and security measures compare.
