基于单光子的单向量子安全通信协议

提出了基于单光子的单向量子安全通信方案.发送方在对信息序列进行编码操作之前首先将其和随机序列进行异或操作并插入校验序列.接收方收到光子后对其进行延迟,此后发送方公布编码基从而使接收方在正确的基下进行测量.接着双方通过校验序列判断信道的安全性,如果信道安全,则发送方公布接收方有测量结果的位置所对应的随机序列,接收方由此恢复出信息序列;如果信道不安全,窃听者所获得的只是随机的发送序列,信息序列仍然是安全的.此协议与双向通信协议相比具有传输效率高、 易于实现等优点. 关键词： 量子密码 量子安全通信 单光子 单向通信     

基于cluster态的信道容量可控的可控量子安全直接通信方案

提出了一种基于五粒子cluster态的信道容量可控的可控量子安全直接通信方案.通信三方利用五粒子cluster态自身的粒子分布情况,结合诱骗光子,对粒子分别做Z基单粒子测量和Bell基测量,便可完成信道的第一次安全性检测.通信控制方Cindy通过对手中的粒子序列随机选用测量基(Z基或者X基)测量来决定信道容量,并通过经典信道公布结果.发送方Alice将要发送的信息以及校检信息用于对手中的粒子序列进行幺正操作编码,并插入诱骗光子后将编码后的粒子序列发给接收方Bob并通过经典信道告知其诱骗光子的位置信息.Bob接收到粒子序列后,按照经典信道Alice发送的信息,结合Cindy公布的信息,剔除诱骗光子后按照一定的规则对手中的两组粒子序列进行Bell基测量,便可解码完成第二次安全性检测以及得到Alice发送的信息.通过对五粒子cluster态的纠缠结构性质进行分析,阐明了五粒子cluster态在该方案中所表现出的特点的物理缘由.结果表明,只需变化测量基的规则和用于编码的粒子,可以将该方案推广成可控双向量子安全直接通信.     

基于量子隐形传态的数据链路层选择重传协议

提出了数据链路层中基于量子隐形传态的量子选择重传协议.即在量子网络的两个站点进行通信时,发送方通过加入辅助量子比特位,把一系列的量子比特分成m帧.在连续传送m个量子帧后,接收方根据发送方所提供的经典信息,判断自己是否收到正确无误的量子帧.若接收方收到了正确的量子帧, 则用量子信道返回确认帧;若接收方没有收到量子帧或收到错误的量子帧, 则不返回否认帧.发送方在设定的时间内,根据收到的确认帧判断需要重发的量子帧.由于只重发丢失或出错的量子帧,该协议减少了通信过程的传播时延,提高了通信效率.在整个通信过程中,仅用经典信道传送测量信息,从而降低了经典信道的负担.     

基于单光子双量子态的确定性安全量子通信

量子通信是量子科学技术的一个重要研究领域,是一种利用量子力学原理,能够在合法各方之间安全地传输私密信息的通信方式.基于单光子的确定性安全量子通信通常需要在发送方和接收方之间来回两次传输单光子态,并利用局域幺正变换加载信息.本文提出了一种单向传输单光子态的确定性安全量子通信方案.发送方利用单光子的极化和time-bin两自由度构成的两组共轭基矢量来编码经典逻辑比特.接收方通过设计合适的测量装置可以在发送方辅助下确定性地获取比特信息并感知窃听,从而实现信息的确定性安全传输.另外,我们的协议使用线性光学元件和单光子探测器,可以在当前的量子通信装置上实现.

带身份认证的量子安全直接通信方案

针对传统量子安全直接通信方案中需提前假设通信双方合法性的问题,提出一种带身份认证的基于GHZ态(一种涉及至少三个子系统或粒子纠缠的量子态)的量子安全直接通信方案.该方案将GHZ态粒子分成三部分,并分三次发送,每一次都加入窃听检测粒子检测信道是否安全,并在第二次发送的时候加入身份认证,用以验证接收方的身份,在第三次发送完粒子之后,接收方将所有检测粒子抽取出来,之后对GHZ态粒子做联合测量,并通过原先给定的编码规则恢复原始信息.本方案设计简单、高效,无需复杂的幺正变换即可实现通信.安全性分析证明,该方案能抵御常见的内部攻击和外部攻击,并且有较高的传输效率、量子比特利用率和编码容量,最大的优势在于发送方发送信息的时候不需要假设接收方的合法性,有较高的实际应用价值.

Quantum broadcast communication

Broadcast encryption allows the sender to securely distribute his/her secret to a dynamically changing group of users over a broadcast channel. In this paper, we just take account of a simple broadcast communication task in quantum scenario, in which the central party broadcasts his secret to multi-receiver via quantum channel. We present three quantum broadcast communication schemes. The first scheme utilizes entanglement swapping and Greenberger--Horne--Zeilinger state to fulfil a task that the central party broadcasts the secret to a group of receivers who share a group key with him. In the second scheme, based on dense coding, the central party broadcasts the secret to multi-receiver, each of which shares an authentication key with him. The third scheme is a quantum broadcast communication scheme with quantum encryption, in which the central party can broadcast the secret to any subset of the legal receivers.     

Measurement-device-independent quantum secure direct communication

Quantum secure direct communication(QSDC)is a unique technique,which supports the secure transmission of confidential information directly through a quantum channel without the need for a secret key and for ciphertext.Hence this secure communication protocol fundamentally differs from its conventional counterparts.In this article,we report the first measurement-deviceindependent(MDI)QSDC protocol relying on sequences of entangled photon pairs and single photons.Explicitly,it eliminates the security loopholes associated with the measurement device.Additionally,this MDI technique is capable of doubling the communication distance of its conventional counterpart operating without using our MDI technique.We also conceive a protocol associated with linear optical Bell-basis measurements,where only two of the four Bell-basis states could be measured.When the number of qubits in a sequence reduces to 1,the MDI-QSDC protocol degenerates to a deterministic MDI quantum key distribution protocol.     

Cryptanalysis and improvement of controlled secure direct communication

This paper points out that, due to a flaw in the sender＇s encoding, the receiver in Gao et al.＇s controlled quantum secret direct communication （CQSDC） protocol [Chin. Phys. 14 （2005）, No. 5, p. 893] can reveal the whole secret message without permission from the controller. An improvement is proposed to avoid this flaw.     

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,     

Entanglement and Quantity in Quantum Space-- About Quantum Measurement (Ⅱ)

As a continuation and extension of "quantity in phase space" "quantity in quantum space" is introduced. With that, the disappearing of quantum interference discussed in a previous paper [S. Dürr, et al., Nature 395 (1998) 33] is explained in the same spirit as our recent papers [Ren De-Ming, Commun. Theor. Phys. (Beijing, China) 41 (2004) 685, 833].     

Quantum Key Distribution Protocol Optimization

Quantum key distribution is a practically implementable cryptographic communication methodology from the hardware and software point of view. It is an information‐theoretic secure method for transmitting keys to remote partners practicing quantum communication. After examining various protocols from the most basic on, BBM92, DPSK, SARG04 and MDI (Measurement Device Independent) protocols are described in view of targeting the longest possible communication distance with the highest secret key bitrate. How any protocol can be optimized with respect to distance is discussed by analyzing the various steps impacting hardware and software that are developed, starting from the underlying assumptions proper to every protocol and ending with the corresponding performance in each case.     

Quantum broadcast communication with authentication

Two simple quantum broadcast communication schemes are proposed.A central party can broadcast his secret message to all the legitimate receivers simultaneously.Compared with the three schemes proposed recently (Wang et al.2007 Chin.Phys.16 1868),the proposed schemes have the advantages of consuming fewer quantum and classical resources,lessening the difficulty and intensity of necessary operations,and having higher efficiency.

Du^err, et al., Nature 395 (1998) 33] is explained in the same spirit as our recent papers [Ren De-Ming, Commun. Theor. Phys. (Beijing, China) 41(2004) 685, 833].     

“Einstein Moon”, “Schrödinger Cat”, and “Quantity in Phase Space” — About Quantum Measurement (I)

Generalizing the idea involved in a previous paper [Commun. Theor. Phys. (Beijing, China) 41 (2004) 685], “quantity in phase space”is introduced. Thus starting from quantum mechanics, with standard criteria, the disappearing of interference in a macroscopic system is explicitly shown. Then the confusions involved in “the Einstein Moon” and “the Schrödinger Cat” are clarified, at least principally.
