Novel continuous-variable quantum secure direct communication and its security analysis

Geng Chai, Zhengwen Cao, Weiqi Liu +3 more

Abstract Quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) allows secret messages to be directly communicated over a quantum channel; its further development could lead to many practical applications. In this paper, we propose a novel continuous-variable (CV)-based QSDC which could be compatible with fully developed optical telecommunication technologies to minimize the implementation costs. Through a security analysis we show that the proposed scheme can effectively resist an eavesdropper’s attacks on the light intensity. Furthermore, our work should inspire the improvement, development and application of CV-based QSDC.

Continuous-Variable Quantum Secure Direct Communication Based on Gaussian Mapping

Zhengwen Cao, Lei Wang, Kexin Liang +2 more

Quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) realizes the transmission of secret messages directly in a quantum channel. A continuous-variable- (CV) based quantum-communication system allows high-speed, large-capacity information transmission in optical telecommunication systems. In this work, we propose a QSDC protocol based on Gaussian mapping. As for Gaussian modulation, the designed Gaussian-mapping scheme effectively solves the problem, which results from the nonuniformity of the secret-message bitstream, and is applicable to different modulation variances. The system performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme can realize inerrant Gaussian modulation of secret messages, and secure transmission of messages under information theory. Moreover, our work hopes to stimulate discussion on experimental realization and practical advance of CV-QSDC protocol.

A Quantum-Memory-Free Quantum Secure Direct Communication Protocol Based on Privacy Amplification of Coded Sequences

Shang-Jen Su, Shi-Yuan Wang, Matthieu R. Bloch

We develop an information-theoretic analysis of Quantum-Memory-Free (QMF) Quantum Secure Direct Communication (QSDC) under collective attacks as an alternative to the use of a conventional Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol in conjunction with one-time pads. Our main contributions are: 1) a QMF-QSDC protocol that only relies on universal hashing of coded sequences without wiretap coding; 2) a set of privacy amplification theorems for extracting secrecy from coded classical sequences against quantum side-information. These tools open the way to the design of effective QMF-QSDC protocols.
