Abstract

We propose a theoretical scheme for secure quantum key distribution network following the ideas m quantum aense coding. In this scheme, the server of the network provides the service for preparing and measuring the Bell states,and the users encode the states with local unitary operations. For preventing the server from eavesdropping, we design a decoy when the particle is transmitted between the users. The scheme has high capacity as one particle carries two bits of information and its efficiency for qubits approaches 100%. Moreover, it is unnecessary for the users to store the quantum states, which makes this scheme more convenient in applications than others.

QDKD based on W state and Bell state entanglement

Zhuansun Shaoshua

In order to improve the efficiency of key distribution,a quantum key distribution protocol based on W state and Bell state entanglement was proposed via quantum dense coding.In the scheme,the sender Alice codes the key successfully via local unitary operations,and the receiver Bob obtains the key with jointing measurement.All states can be used to transmit messages except those choosen for checking eavesdroppers,5 bits deterministic key were distributed by 5 particles.Security analysis result by using information theory shows that the scheme is secure,any eavesdroppers can be found in time.

Quantum Key Distribution Scheme Based on Dense Encoding in Entangled States

Zhang Xiaolong, Yuexia Zhang, Kelin Gao

A quantum key distribution protocol, based on the quantum dense encoding in entangled states, is presented. In this protocol, we introduce an encoding process to encode,two classical bits information into one of the four one-qubit unitary operations implemented by Alice and the Bell states measurement implemented by Bob in stead of direct measuring the previously shared Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs by both of the distant parties, Alice and Bob Considering the practical application we can get the conclusion that our protocol has some advantages. It not only simplifies the measurement which may induce potential errors, but also improves the effectively transmitted rate of the generated qubits by the raw key. Here we also discuss eavesdropping attacks against the scheme and the channel loss.

Efficient Quantum Cryptography Network without Entanglement and Quantum Memory

Chunyan Li, Xihan Li, Deng Fu-Guo +3 more

An efficient quantum cryptography network protocol is proposed with d -dimensional polarized photons, without resorting to entanglement and quantum memory. A server on the network, say Alice, provides the service for preparing and measuring single photons whose initial state are |0⟩. The users code the information on the single photons with some unitary operations. To prevent the untrustworthy server Alice from eavesdropping the quantum lines, a nonorthogonal-coding technique is used in the process that the quantum signal is transmitted between the users. This protocol does not require the servers and the users to store the quantum states and almost all of the single photons can be used for carrying the information, which makes it more convenient for application than others with present technology. We also discuss the case with a faint laser pulse.

Quantum secure direct communication network with superdense coding and decoy photons

Fu‐Guo Deng, Xihan Li, Chunyan Li +2 more

A quantum secure direct communication network scheme is proposed with quantum superdense coding and decoy photons. The servers on a passive optical network prepare and measure the quantum signal, i.e. a sequence of the d -dimensional Bell states. After confirming the security of the photons received from the receiver, the sender codes his secret message on them directly. For preventing a dishonest server from eavesdropping, some decoy photons prepared by measuring one photon in the Bell states are used to replace some original photons. One of the users on the network can communicate to any other one. This scheme has the advantage of high capacity, and it is more convenient than others as only a sequence of photons is transmitted in quantum line.

Quantum Key Distribution Scheme with High Efficiency

Gan Gao

Based on entanglement swapping, a quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme is proposed. In this scheme, the secret keys are formed by comparing initial Bell states and outcomes of entanglement swapping. Moreover, all initial Bell states prepared by Alice and Bob are completely arbitrary. As the classical information exchanged between two parties is very little, this QKD scheme has a high efficiency. In addition, in order to prevent eavesdropping, decoy particles are used.
