Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we develop a quantum communication protocol for the simultaneous preparation of a two-qubit and a three-qubit state at the positions of two different parties situated spatially apart. For one party, Alice, it is a remote state preparation of a known two-qubit state while for the other party, Bob, it is a joint remote state preparation with the help of a third party, Eve. The protocol is executed in a hybrid form bi-directionally in the presence of two controllers, Charlie and David. There is a hierarchy in the process through different levels of control under which the actions by Alice and Bob are performed. There is a need for a ten-qubit entangled channel connecting the five parties. The generation of this channel through a circuit is discussed. The protocol is executed on the IBM Quantum platform. We also study the effect of noise on our protocol. Here, amplitude-damping, bit-flip and phase-flip noisy environments are considered and the corresponding variations of fidelity are theoretically and numerically analyzed.

Bidirectional Hybrid Quantum Communication of Two-Qubit States

Yao Lü, Min Jiang

Abstract This paper proposes a hybrid bidirectional quantum communication protocol, in which two parties simultaneously transmit two-qubit states: one via quantum teleportation (QT) and the other via remote state preparation (RSP). This approach establishes a more flexible model for bidirectional quantum communication. The protocol utilizes a specially designed maximally entangled quantum channel to enable hybrid bidirectional communication. By performing Bell measurements, joint projective measurements, and corresponding unitary operations, quantum teleportation from Alice to Bob and remote state preparation from Bob to Alice can be accomplished synchronously. Furthermore, the robustness of the proposed protocol is evaluated under three typical noisy environments, namely the amplitude damping (AD) channel, phase damping(PD) channel and the depolarizing (DP) channel. The proposed protocol provides a novel framework for effcient bidirectional quantum communication, with potential advantages in enhancing interactivity and optimizing resource utilization in future quantum networks.

Hierarchical controlled asymmetric bidirectional hybrid quantum communication in noisy environment

Benchao Yang

Abstract This paper puts forward a novel hierarchical controlled asymmetric bidirectional hybrid quantum communication scheme that can be applied to hierarchical quantum information transmission tasks in various application scenarios. In this scheme, with only Charlie’s assistance, Alice can accomplish the less crucial task of remotely preparing any single-qubit state for Bob. Simultaneously, Bob aims to transmit any two-qubit states to Alice via quantum teleportation. As a more vital communication task, apart from obtaining the consent of the control agent Charlie, Bob also requires the help of another control agent, David. Only with the combined control and support of Charlie and David can this task be successfully completed by Bob. In an ideal environment, the success rate of this protocol is 1. Given that noise is inevitable in practical communication, this paper further investigates the impact of different noises on this communication scheme and analyzes and compares its efficiency with other existing similar schemes. The proposed protocol outperforms existing hierarchical quantum communication solutions in terms of task generality and flexibility. By assigning different levels of controllers to different tasks, it provides users with greater flexibility to meet their specific needs, especially in scenarios requiring both multi-level authorization control and hybrid quantum communication.

Hierarchical controlled bidirectional hybrid quantum information transmission for arbitrary two-qubit states in noisy environments

Benchao Yang

Abstract This paper proposes a hierarchical controlled bidirectional hybrid quantum information transmission (HCBHQIT) protocol for arbitrary two-qubit states based on a special ten-qubit entangled state. The protocol implements a hierarchical control mechanism where high-level agent Alice can complete quantum teleportation of any unknown two-qubit state to Bob with only one controller Charlie’s assistance, while low-level agent Bob requires collaborative control from both Charlie and an additional controller David to remotely prepare arbitrary known two-qubit states at Alice’s location (with Alice remaining completely unaware of the state). We comprehensively analyze protocol implementation in noisy environments, particularly examining fidelity degradation under various noise conditions, and calculate the intrinsic efficiency through comparative evaluations. The scheme innovatively integrates multi-level control architecture with bidirectional hybrid communication technology over a shared quantum channel, with detailed discussions for both ideal and noisy scenarios. Demonstrated to maintain practical value across multiple application scenarios, this protocol advances controllable quantum communication systems through its hierarchical access management and dual-directional information transfer capabilities.

Scheme for Asymmetric and Deterministic Controlled Bidirectional Joint Remote State Preparation*

Jin 锦 Shi 施, You-Bang Zhan

Abstract The scheme for asymmetric and deterministic controlled bidirectional joint remote state preparation by using one ten-qubit entangled state as the quantum channel is proposed. In this scheme, Alice and David want to remotely prepare an arbitrary single-qubit state at Bob’s site, at the same time, Bob and Eve wish to help Alice remotely prepare an arbitrary two-qubit entangled state. Alice and Bob can simultaneously prepare the desired states with the cooperation of David and Eve under the control of Charlie .

Protected simultaneous quantum remote state preparation scheme by weak and reversal measurements in noisy environments

Mandal Manoj Kumar, Binayak Samadder Choudhury, Samanta Soumen

We discuss a quantum remote state preparation protocol by which two parties, Alice and Candy, prepare a single-qubit and a two-qubit state, respectively, at the site of the receiver Bob. The single-qubit state is known to Alice while the two-qubit state which is a non-maximally entangled Bell state is known to Candy. The three parties are connected through a single entangled state which acts as a quantum channel. We first describe the protocol in the ideal case when the entangled channel under use is in a pure state. After that, we consider the effect of amplitude damping (AD) noise on the quantum channel and describe the protocol executed through the noisy channel. The decrement of the fidelity is shown to occur with the increment in the noise parameter. This is shown by numerical computation in specific examples of the states to be created. Finally, we show that it is possible to maintain the label of fidelity to some extent and hence to decrease the effect of noise by the application of weak and reversal measurements. We also present a scheme for the generation of the five-qubit entangled resource which we require as a quantum channel. The generation scheme is run on the IBMQ platform.

Asymmetric hierarchical controlled bidirectional quantum hybrid communication via eight-qubit entangled state

Benchao Yang

Abstract This paper presents a hierarchical controlled asymmetric bidirectional hybrid quantum communication protocol applicable to hierarchical quantum information transmission tasks across diverse scenarios. The scheme incorporates two communication tasks: (1) With the assistance of controller Charlie, Alice can perform the lower-priority task of transmit arbitrary single-qubit state to Bob via quantum teleportation; (2) As a higher-priority task, Bob needs to remotely preparing arbitrary two-qubit states for Alice. This process requires not only authorization from controller Charlie but also collaborative support from another controller David. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that the protocol achieves a 100% success rate under ideal conditions. To address noise interference in practical communication, the impacts of different noise models on protocol performance are systematically investigated, followed by an efficiency comparison with existing similar schemes. Results indicate that this protocol significantly outperforms current hierarchical quantum communication solutions in terms of task generality and flexibility. By assigning differentiated control levels to different tasks, the protocol provides users with enhanced configurability to meet specific requirements, particularly in complex scenarios requiring integrated multi-level authorization control and hybrid quantum communication.
