基于Bell态粒子和单光子混合的量子安全直接通信方案

为了提高量子安全直接通信的效率,本文提出了一种基于Bell态粒子和单光子混合的量子安全直接通信方案.该方案中Alice将所有Bell态粒子划分为两个序列S_A和S_B,先将S_B发给Bob进行第一次窃听检测,检测结果表示量子信道安全后再将信息序列编码在序列S_A和单光子序列S_S混合的量子态序列上;然后将已编码序列经过顺序重排和添加单光子检测粒子后发给合法接收方Bob.该方案避免了复杂的U变换,简化了方案的实现过程.同时顺序重排和检测粒子的结合保证了方案的安全性.另外3 bits经典信息加载在一个态上的编码规则大大提高了编码容量,从而使信息传输效率也得到提高.

单光子源及在量子信息领域的应用

光量子比特是量子计算和量子通信的理想候选体系之一。高效率、高品质、确定性的单光子源是实现光学量子计算和绝对安全量子通信的重要前提条件。自组装半导体量子点,又称“人造原子”,具有优良的单光子性和光子全同性,是理想的单光子源。此外,量子点可以通过外加电场,囚禁单个原子或空穴,作为光子-自旋比特的界面,构建可扩展光量子网络。微柱腔耦合的量子点,拥有很强的Purcell效应,在保持单光子性和光子全同性的同时,大大地提高了提取效率,且具有很好的相干性,可用于大规模量子计算。近年来,人们在二维单原子层材料中发现了非经典的单光子发射,使二维材料和量子光学领域得到了结合,开辟了新的研究路线：探索单原子层材料在量子技术的潜在应用。和传统固态单光子源系统相比,二维材料更易于与其他光电平台结合,可人为控制缺陷位置,有利于推动高品质、低成本单光子源的发展,得到了科学家的广泛关注。本报告首先从量子计算和量子通信两方面提出发展单光子源的意义,接着介绍单光子源的性质和产生原理,然后介绍单光子源在自组装半导体量子点和二维单原子层材料中的实现和发展,最后从光子-自旋量子隐形传态和玻色采样实验中讨论单光子源在量子计算和量子网络方面的应用前景。

Circular threshold quantum secret sharing

This paper proposes a circular threshold quantum secret sharing （TQSS） scheme with polarized single photons. A polarized single photon sequence runs circularly among any t or more of n parties and any t or more of n parties can reconstruct the secret key when they collaborate. It shows that entanglement is not necessary for quantum secret sharing. Moreover, the theoretic efficiency is improved to approach 100% as the single photons carrying the secret key are deterministically forwarded among any t or more of n parties, and each photon can carry one bit of information without quantum storage. This protocol is feasible with current technology.     

Robust Multiparty Quantum Secret Key Sharing Over Two Collective-Noise Channels via Three-Photon Mixed States

We present a robust （n, n）-threshold scheme for multiparty quantum secret sharing of key over two collectivenoise channels （i.e., the collective dephasing channel and the collective rotating channel） via three-photon mixed states, In our scheme, only if all the sharers collaborate together can they establish a joint key with the message sender and extract the secret message from the sender＇s encrypted message. This scheme can be implemented using only a Bell singlet, a one-qubit state and polarization identification of single photon, so it is completely feasible according to the present-day technique.     

Efficient quantum secure communication with a publicly known key

This paper presents a simple way for an eavesdropper to eavesdrop freely the secret message in the experimental realization of quantum communication protocol proposed by Beige et al （2002 Acta Phys. Pol. A 101 357）. Moreover, it introduces an efficient quantum secure communication protocol based on a publicly known key with decoy photons and two biased bases by modifying the original protocol. The total efficiency of this new protocol is double that of the original one. With a low noise quantum channel, this protocol can be used for transmitting a secret message. At present, this protocol is good for generating a private key efficiently,     

Multiparty Quantum Secret Sharing of Secure Direct Communication Using Teleportation

We present an (n,n) threshold quantum secret sharing scheme of secure direct communication using Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state and teleportation.After ensuring the security of the quantum channel,the sender encodes the secret message directly on a sequence of particle states and transmits it to the receivers by teleportation.The receivers can recover the secret message by combining their measurement results with the sender's result.If a perfect quantum channel is used,our scheme is completely secure because the transmitting particle sequence does not carry the secret message.We also show our scheme is secure for noise quantum channel.     

基于Bell态粒子和单光子混合的量子安全直接通信方案的信息泄露问题

最近,一种基于Bell态粒子和单光子混合的量子安全直接通信方案[物理学报65 230301(2016)]被提出.文章宣称一个量子态可以编码3比特经典信息,从而使得协议具有很高的信息传输效率.不幸的是,该协议存在信息泄露问题:编码在单光子上的3比特经典信息有2比特被泄露,而编码在Bell态上的3比特经典信息有1比特被泄露,所以它不是一个安全的直接量子通信方案.在保留原协议思想且尽可能少地更改原协议的基础上,我们提出一种改进的消息编码规则,从而解决信息泄露问题,使之成为一个高效、安全的量子通信协议.衷心希望研究者能对量子安全通信协议中信息泄露问题引起足够重视,设计真正安全的量子通信协议.     

A two-step quantum secure direct communication protocol with hyperentanglement

We propose a two-step quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocol with hyperentanglement in both the spatial-mode and the polarization degrees of freedom of photon pairs which can in principle be produced with a beta barium borate crystal. The secret message can be encoded on the photon pairs with unitary operations in these two degrees of freedom independently. This QSDC protocol has a higher capacity than the original two-step QSDC protocol as each photon pair can carry 4 bits of information. Compared with the QSDC protocol based on hyperdense coding, this QSDC protocol has the immunity to Trojan horse attack strategies with the process for determining the number of the photons in each quantum signal as it is a one-way quantum communication protocol.     

控制的量子隐形传态和控制的量子安全直接通信

我们提出了一个控制的量子隐形传态方案。在这方案中，发送方Alice 在监督者Charlie的控制下以他们分享的三粒子纠缠态作为量子通道将二能级粒子未知态的量子信息忠实的传给了遥远的接受方Bob。我们还提出了借助此传态的控制的量子安全直接通信方案。在保证量子通道安全的情况下， Alice直接将秘密信息编码在粒子态序列上，并在Charlie控制下用此传态方法传给Bob。Bob可通过测量他的量子位读出编码信息。由于没有带秘密信息的量子位在Alice 和Bob之间传送，只要量子通道安全， 这种通信不会泄露给窃听者任何信息， 是绝对安全的。这个方案的的特征是双方通信需得到第三方的许可。     

Steganalysis and improvement of a quantum steganography protocol via a GHZ4 state

Quantum steganography that utilizes the quantum mechanical effect to achieve the purpose of information hiding is a popular topic of quantum information. Recently, E1 Allati et al. proposed a new quantum steganography using the GHZ4 state. Since all of the 8 groups of unitary transformations used in the secret message encoding rule change the GHZ4 state into 6 instead of 8 different quantum states when the global phase is not considered, we point out that a 2-bit instead of a 3-bit secret message can be encoded by one group of the given unitary transformations. To encode a 3-bit secret message by performing a group of unitary transformations on the GHZ4 state, we give another 8 groups of unitary transformations that can change the GHZ4 state into 8 different quantum states. Due to the symmetry of the GHZ4 state, all the possible 16 groups of unitary transformations change the GHZ4 state into 8 different quantum states, so the improved protocol achieves a high efficiency.     

Three-step semiquantum secure direct communication protocol

Quantum secure direct communication is the direct communication of secret messages without need for establishing a shared secret key first. In the existing schemes, quantum secure direct communication is possible only when both parties are quantum. In this paper, we construct a three-step semiquantum secure direct communication (SQSDC) protocol based on single photon sources in which the sender Alice is classical. In a semiquantum protocol, a person is termed classical if he (she) can measure, prepare and send quantum states only with the fixed orthogonal quantum basis {|0〉, |1〉}. The security of the proposed SQSDC protocol is guaranteed by the complete robustness of semiquantum key distribution protocols and the unconditional security of classical one-time pad encryption. Therefore, the proposed SQSDC protocol is also completely robust. Complete robustness indicates that nonzero information acquired by an eavesdropper Eve on the secret message implies the nonzero probability that the legitimate participants can find errors on the bits tested by this protocol. In the proposed protocol, we suggest a method to check Eves disturbing in the doves returning phase such that Alice does not need to announce publicly any position or their coded bits value after the photons transmission is completed. Moreover, the proposed SQSDC protocol can be implemented with the existing techniques. Compared with many quantum secure direct communication protocols, the proposed SQSDC protocol has two merits: firstly the sender only needs classical capabilities; secondly to check Eves disturbing after the transmission of quantum states, no additional classical information is needed.     

Multiparty Quantum Secret Sharing Using Quantum Fourier Transform

A （n, n）-threshold scheme of multiparty quantum secret sharing of classical or quantum message is proposed based on the discrete quantum Fourier transform. In our proposed scheme, the secret message, which is encoded by using the forward quantum Fourier transform and decoded by using the reverse, is split and shared in such a way that it can be reconstructed among them only if all the participants work in concert. Fhrthermore, we also discuss how this protocol must be carefully designed for correcting errors and checking eavesdropping or a dishonest participant. Security analysis shows that our scheme is secure. Also, this scheme has an advantage that it is completely compatible with quantum computation and easier to realize in the distributed quantum secure computation.
