Abstract

With the development of quantum network, quantum continuous-variables have practical significance of improving communication. This paper proposes a new continuous-variable quantum network coding protocol (CVQNC) based on the butterfly network model with the hybrid channel of quantum channel and classical channel to realise the cross transmission of quantum information and classical information. The new protocol not only is conducive to the realisation of quantum network, but also can reduce the communication cost of quantum network effectively. It can be seen from the throughput and fidelity analysis that this protocol has a higher throughput than discrete-variable quantum network encoding scheme and classical information network encoding scheme. The ceiling of fidelity in this protocol is 4/9. According to the analysis of simple intercept attack and spectroscope attack, it is secure for the protocol to transmit quantum information and classical information by resisting on the eavesdropping attack of the third-party effectively.

Quantum network coding based on butterfly network

Ying Guo

Based on the typical example of butterfly network,this paper promoted a quantum network coding scheme including the transmission of classical information and the unknown qubit.It improved effectively the overall performance of the network which could achieve the maximizing information transmission in quantum network.Remarkably,here it did not require classic channel,only had quantum channel.It mad use of qubit as register to transmit classical information.No matter what send was unknown qubit or classical bit,both could be encoded with register and decoded without classical assistant information.It's effective to improve security of this scheme.

Continuous-Variable Quantum Network Coding Based on Quantum Discord

Tao Shang, Ran Liu, Jianwei Liu +1 more

Establishing entanglement is an essential task of quantum communication technology. Beyond entanglement, quantum discord, as a measure of quantum correlation, is a necessary prerequisite to the success of entanglement distribution. To realize efficient quantum communication based on quantum discord, in this paper, we consider the practical advantages of continuous variables and propose a feasible continuous-variable quantum network coding scheme based on quantum discord. By means of entanglement distribution by separable states, it can achieve quantum entanglement distribution from sources to targets in a butterfly network. Compared with the representative discrete-variable quantum network coding schemes, the proposed continuous-variable quantum network coding scheme has a higher probability of entanglement distribution and defends against eavesdropping and forgery attacks. Particularly, the deduced relationship indicates that the increase in entanglement is less than or equal to quantum discord.

High‐Capacity Multi‐Pair Continuous‐Variable Quantum Network Coding Based on Microcavity Frequency Comb

Xia Yan, Tianai Zhou, Yongxin Feng +3 more

ABSTRACT Continuous‐variable quantum network coding (CVQNC) faces several challenges when extended to large scale scenarios, including the insufficient channel capacity, low entanglement generation efficiency, and degradation of entanglement under channel loss. In this study, a high‐capacity CVQNC scheme based on microcavity frequency combs is proposed over the butterfly network, which enables parallel quantum information transmission among multiple user pairs by exploiting network coding at the bottleneck link. Furthermore, an entanglement enhancement strategy combining mode multiplexing with quantum scissors is introduced to reduce the entanglement degradation caused by channel loss. The results show that the proposed scheme improves the entanglement enhancement efficiency, channel capacity, transmission fidelity, and security while scaling to a larger number of users.

Continuous variable quantum steganography protocol based on quantum identity

Zhiguo Qu, Leiming Jiang, Le Sun +2 more

Based on quantum identity authentication, a novel continuous variable quantum steganography protocol is proposed in this paper. It can effectively transmit deterministic secret information in the public quantum channel by taking full advantage of entanglement properties of continuous variable GHZ state. Compared with the existing quantum steganography results, this protocol has the advantages of good imperceptibility and easy implementation. Finally, the detailed performance analysis proves that the proposed protocol has not only these advantages, but also good security and information transmission efficiency, even under eavesdropping attacks, especially to the spectroscopic noise attack.

Continuous variable quantum network dialogue protocol based on single-mode squeezed states

Li‐Hua Gong, Jianfu Li, Nanrun Zhou

Abstract A new quantum network dialogue protocol is designed by using the entanglement property of the continuous-variable single-mode squeezed states. To verify the security of the channel in the protocol, Alice should send single-mode squeezed states respectively to Bob, Charlie, and etc. Then Bob, Charlie et al could encode the secret information with a specific encoding rule, insert the Gaussian random data into the encoded message and send them to Alice. They could deduce the secret information of their counterparts according to the measurement results. In addition, each communication party could dialogue with another communicator in a quantum way. The new proposed quantum network dialogue protocol based on single-mode squeezed states is much easier to implement compared with those based on the discrete-variable quantum states.
