Asymmetric Bidirectional Controlled Teleportation by Using Six-qubit Cluster State

We propose a scheme for asymmetric bidirectional controlled teleportation by using a six-qubit cluster state as quantum channel. In our scheme, Alice can transmit an arbitrary two-qubit entangled state to Bob and at the same time Bob can teleport an arbitrary single-qubit state to Alice under the control of the supervisor Charlie.     

Controlled Teleportation of an Arbitrary Three-Qubit State by Using a Genuinely Entangled Six-Qubit State and a Bell-State

A new application of the genuinely entangled six-qubit state introduced recently by Borras et al. [J. Phys. A 40:13407, 2007] is investigated for the controlled teleportation of an arbitrary three-qubit state. In our scheme, a genuinely entangled six-qubit state and a Bell-state are shared by a sender (Alice), a controller (Charlie) and a receiver (Bob). Both the sender and the controller only need to perform Bell-state measurements (BSMs), the receiver can reconstruct the arbitrary three-qubit state by performing some appropriate unitary transformations on his qubits after he knows the measured results of both the sender and the controller. This controlled teleportation scheme is deterministic.     

Tripartite Quantum Controlled Teleportation via Seven-Qubit Cluster State

In this paper, a theoretical scheme for tripartite quantum controlled teleportation is presented using the entanglement property of seven-qubit cluster state. This means that Alice wants to transmit a entangled state of particle a to Bob, Charlie wants to transmit a entangled state of particle b to David and Edison wants to transmit a entangled state of particle c to Ford via the control of the supervisor. In the end, we compared the aspects of quantum resource consumption, operation complexity, classical resource consumption, quantum information bits transmitted, success probability and efficiency with other schemes.     

Tripartite Controlled Teleportation via a Seven-Qubit Entangled State

We demonstrate that a seven-qubit entangled state can be used to realize the deterministic tripartite controlled teleportation by performing Bell-state measurements, where Alice wants to teleport an arbitrary single-qubit state of qubit a to Bob, Charlie wants to teleport an arbitrary single-qubit state of qubit b to David and at the same time Edison wants to teleport an arbitrary single-qubit state of qubit c to Ford via the control of the supervisor Tom.     

Analysis of Counterfactual Quantum Certificate Authorization

A counterfactual quantum certificate authorization protocol was proposed recently (Shenoy et al., Phys. Rev. A 89, 052307 (20)), in which a trusted third party, Alice, authenticates an entity Bob (e.g., a bank) that a client Charlie wishes to securely transact with. However, this protocol requires a classical authenticated channel between Bob and Charlie to prevent possible attacks from the third party Alice, which is in conflict with the task of certificate authorization in the sense that Bob and Charlie can establish an unconditionally-secure key by a quantum key distribution protocol if there is a classical authenticated channel between them and hence securely transact with each other even without the assistance of the third party Alice.     

Controlled Joint Remote Preparation of a Six-Qubit Cluster-Type State by Using GHZ States

A scheme for the controlled joint remote preparation of an arbitrary six-qubit cluster-type state by using only two sets of five-qubit GHZ states as quantum channel is proposed. In our scheme, Alice firstly performs two sets of two-qubit projective measurement according to the real coefficients and the complex coefficients of the desired six-qubit cluster-type state. Then, the controller Charlie must apply another two-qubit projective measurement according to the Alice’s measurement result. Finally, Bob can obtain the desired six-qubit cluster-type state according to an appropriate unitary operation. Our scheme can achieve unit success probability.

     

Bidirectional Controlled Quantum Teleportation of Three-Qubit State by a New Entangled Eleven-Qubit State

In this paper, an improved controlled bidirectional quantum teleportation protocol of the special three-qubit state is proposed. In a little bit more detail, under the control of the third supervisor Charlie, Alice wants to send one special three-qubit entangled state to Bob, and at the meantime, Bob also wants to transmit another special three-qubit entangled state to Alice. In other words, both Alice and Bob can be the sender and receiver simultaneously. To achieve this aim, a specific eleven-qubit entangled state is shared among Alice, Bob and Charlie in advance acting as the quantum channel. Then, Alice and Bob first implement the GHZ-state measurement and Bell-state measurement respectively, and following Charlie’s single-qubit measurement. Finally, upon the foregoing measurement results, Alice and Bob can respectively implement the specific unitary operators on their local particles to recover the initial state transmitted by the other.

A Bidirectional Teleportation Protocol for Arbitrary Two-qubit State Under the Supervision of a Third Party

In this paper we introduce a controlled teleportation protocol for transferring arbitrary two-qubit states bilaterally between Alice and Bob. The bidirectional teleportation protocol is supervised by a controller Charlie. A ten-qubit entangled quantum channel shared between Alice, Bob and Charlie is utilized. The protocol depends on Bell state measurements by Alice and Bob and single-qubit measurements by Charlie.     

Bidirectional Controlled Teleportation via Six-Qubit Cluster State

We present a scheme for bidirectional controlled teleportation by using a six-qubit cluster state as quantum channel. Based on the C-not operation and single qubit measurements, Alice may transmit an arbitrary single qubit state of qubit A to Bob and Bob may transmit an arbitrary single qubit state of qubit B to Alice via the control of the supervisor Charlie.     

Circular Controlled Quantum Teleportation by a Genuine Seven-qubit Entangled State

A scheme of circular controlled quantum teleportation, which is a novel version of bidirectional controlled quantum teleportation, is proposed using a specific genuine seven-qubit entangled state as quantum channel, and then it is generalized to the scene with a general genuine seven-qubit entangled state as channel. This means that with the control of the supervisor Daniel while Alice teleportates an unknown qubit state to Bob, Bob can also teleportate an unknown qubit state to Charlie and Charlie can also teleportate an unknown qubit state to Alice circularly, simultaneously. Compared with the BCQT schemes proposed before, the intrinsic efficiency of our scheme is optimal.

     

Two-way quantum communication: Generalization of secure quantum information exchange to quantum network

The idea of secure quantum information exchange (SQIE) [J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys.44, 115504 (2011)] is introduced for the secure exchange of single qubit information states between two legitimate users, Alice and Bob. In the present paper, we extend this original SQIE protocol by presenting a scheme, which enables the secure exchange of n-single qubit information states among the n nodes of a quantum network, with the aid of a special kind of 4n-qubit entangled state and the classical assistance of an extra participant Charlie. For experimental realization of our extended SQIE protocol, we suggest an efficient scheme for the generation of a special kind of 4n-qubit entangled state using the interaction between highly detuned Λ-type three-level atoms and optical coherent field. Further, by discussing the various experimental parameters, we show that the special kind 4n-qubit entangled state can be generated with the presently available technology.     

Bidirectional Quantum Controlled Teleportation of Three-Qubit State by Using GHZ States

In this paper, we present a scheme of bidirectional quantum controlled teleportation of three-qubit state by using GHZ states. Alice transmits an unknown three-qubit entangled state to Bob, and Bob transmit an unknown three-qubit entangled state to Alice via the control of the supervisor Charlie. In order to facilitate the implementation in the experimental environment, the preparation method of quantum channel is given. This scheme is based on that three-qubit entangled state are transformed into two-qubit entangled state and single qubit superposition state by using Toffoli Gate and Controlled-NOT operation, receivers can by introducing the appropriate unitary transformation and auxiliary particles to reconstruct the initial state. Finally, this paper is implemented a scheme of bidirectional quantum controlled teleportation of more than two qubits via the control of the supervisor Charlie.

     

Quantum Splitting a Two-qubit State with a Genuinely Entangled Five-qubit State

A new application of the genuinely entangled five-qubit state is investigated for quantum information splitting of a particular type of two-qubit state. In this scheme, a genuinely entangled five-qubit state is shared by Alice (a sender), Charlie (a controller) and Bob (a receiver), and Alice only needs to perform two Bell-state measurements and Charlie performs a single-qubit measurement, Bob can reconstruct the two-qubit state by performing some appropriately unitary transformations on his qubits after he knows the measured results of both Alice and Charlie. This quantum information splitting scheme is deterministic, i.e. the probability of success is 100 %. The presented protocol is showed to be secure against certain eavesdropping attacks.     

High-Capacity Three-Party Quantum Secret Sharing with Single Photons in Both the Polarization and the Spatial-Mode Degrees of Freedom

We present a high-capacity three-party quantum secret sharing (QSS) protocol with a sequence of single photons in both the polarization and the spatial-mode degrees of freedom. By inserting the boss Alice into the middle position between the two agents Bob and Charlie, our QSS protocol is secure in theory. The boss Alice chooses some unitary operations to encode her information on the single photons. It is interesting to point out the fact that Alice does not change the bases of the single photons which are used to carry the useful information about the private key, which improves its success probability for obtaining a private key. Compared with the QSS protocol by Zhou et al. (Chin. Phys. Lett. 24, 2181 (2007)), our QSS protocol has a higher capacity without increasing the difficulty of its implementation in experiment as each correlated photon can carry two bits of useful information. Compared with those QSS protocols based on entangled photon pairs and Bell-state measurements, our QSS protocol is more feasible as it does not require the complete Bell-state analysis which is not easy with linear optics. We give out the setup for the implementation of our QSS protocol with linear optical elements.     

Controlled Cyclic Remote Preparation of an Arbitrary Single-Qudit State by Using a Seven-Qudit Cluster State as the Quantum Channel

We present a protocol for controlled cyclic remote preparation of an arbitrary single-qudit state via a seven-qudit cluster state. In the protocol, Alice can help the remote agent Bob prepare an arbitrary single-qudit state, Bob can help the agent Charlie prepare an arbitrary single-qudit state and at the same time Charlie can help Alice prepare an arbitrary single-qudit state under the controller David’s control. Alice, Bob and Charlie first perform positive operator-valued measurement (POVM) on their entangled particles according to the information of the prepared state, then perform generalized X-basis measurement. The controller performs generalized X-basis measurement on his entangled particle. The arbitrary single-qudit states can be cyclic remote prepared under the controller’s control. The protocol is more convenient in application since it only requires single-particle measurement and single-particle unitary operations for controlled cyclic remote preparation of the single-qudit states.
