An efficient quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol with orthogonal product states in the 3 \otimes 3 Hilbert space is presented. The sender, Alice, disorders the orthogonal product state sequence and sends it to Bob. After Alice has published the matching information of the particle sequence, Bob recovers the correct correspondences and makes an orthogonal measurement on the orthogonal product states to obtain the information sent by Alice. Finally, security analysis is also made.

This protocol has many distinct features such as great capacity and high efficiency.     

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.     

An Efficient Scheme for Multiparty Multi-particle State Sharing

We present an efficient scheme for sharing an arbitrary m-qubitstate with n agents. In our scheme, the sender Alice first shares mBell states with the agent Bob, who is designated to recover the originalm-qubit state. Furthermore, Alice introduces n-1 auxiliary particlesin the initial state |0>, applies Hadamard (H) gate and Controlled-Not (CNOT) gate operations on the particles, which make them entangled with one of m particle pairs in Bell states, and then sends them to the controllers (i.e., other n-1 agents), where each controller only holds one particle in hand. After Alice performing m Bell-basis measurements and each controller a single-particle measurement, the recover Bob can obtain the original unknown quantum state by applying the corresponding local unitary operations on his particles.Its intrinsic efficiency for qubits approaches 100%, and the total efficiency really approaches the maximal value.     

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。     

A Method for Transferring an Unknown Quantum State and Its Application

We suggest a method for transferring an unknown quantum state. In this method the sender Alice first applies a controlled-not operation on the particle in the unknown quantum state and an ancillary particle which she wants to send to the receiver Bob. Then she sends the ancillary particle to Bob. When Alice is informed by Bob that the ancillary particle is received, she performs a local measurement on her particle and sends Bob the outcome of the local measurement via a classical channel. Depending on the outcome Bob can restore the unknown quantum state, which Alice destroyed, on the ancillary particle successfully. As an application of this method we propose a quantum secure direct communication protocol. By introducing the decoy qubits the security of the scheme is guaranteed.     

Quantum Authencryption with Two-Photon Entangled States for Off-Line Communicants

In this paper, a quantum authencryption protocol is proposed by using the two-photon entangled states as the quantum resource. Two communicants Alice and Bob share two private keys in advance, which determine the generation of two-photon entangled states. The sender Alice sends the two-photon entangled state sequence encoded with her classical bits to the receiver Bob in the manner of one-step quantum transmission. Upon receiving the encoded quantum state sequence, Bob decodes out Alice’s classical bits with the two-photon joint measurements and authenticates the integrity of Alice’s secret with the help of one-way hash function. The proposed protocol only uses the one-step quantum transmission and needs neither a public discussion nor a trusted third party. As a result, the proposed protocol can be adapted to the case where the receiver is off-line, such as the quantum E-mail systems. Moreover, the proposed protocol provides the message authentication to one bit level with the help of one-way hash function and has an information-theoretical efficiency equal to 100 %.     

Efficient Three-Party Quantum Secret Sharing with Single Photons

A scheme for three-party quantum secret sharing of a private key is presented with single photons. The agent Bob first prepares a sequence of single photons with two biased bases and then sends them to the boss Alice who checks the security of the transmission with measurements and produces some decoy photons by rearranging the orders of some sample photons. Alice encodes her bits with two unitary operations on the photons and then sends them to the other agent. The security of this scheme is equivalent to that in the modified Bennett Brassard 1984 quantum key distribution protocol. Moreover, each photon can carry one bit of the private key and the intrinsic efficiency for qubits and the total efficiency both approach the maximal value 100% when the number of the bits in the key is very large.     

Quantum secure direct communication protocol with blind polarization bases and particles＇ transmitting order

This paper presents a modified secure direct communication protocol by using the blind polarization bases and particles' random transmitting order. In our protocol, a sender (Alice) encodes secret messages by rotating a random polarization angle of particle and then the receiver (Bob) sends back these particles as a random sequence. This ensures the security of communication.     

A new representation and probabilistic teleportation of an arbitrary and unknown N-particle state

A new representation of an arbitrary and unknown N-particle state is presented at first. As an application, a scheme for teleporting an arbitrary and unknown N-particle state is proposed when N pairs of two-particle non- maximally entangled states are utilized as quantum channels. After Alice （sender） makes Bell-state measurement on her particles, Bob （recipient） introduces an auxiliary particle and carries out appropriate unitary transformation on his particle and the auxiliary particle depending on classical information from Alice. Then, von Neumann measurement that confirms whether the teleportation succeeds or not is performed by Bob on the auxiliary particle. In order to complete the teleportation, another N-1 times operations need to be performed which are similar to the above ones. It can be successfully realized with a certain probability which is determined by the product of the smaller coefficients of non-maximally entangled pairs. All possible unitary transformations are given in detail.

Controller-Independent Bidirectional Direct Communication with Four-Qubit Cluster States

We propose a feasible scheme for implementing bidirectional quantum direct communication protocol using four-qubit cluster states. In this scheme, the quantum channel between the sender Alice and the receiver Bob consists of an ordered sequence of cluster states which are prepared by Alice. After ensuring the security of quantum channel, according to the secret messages, the sender will perform the unitary operation and the receiver can obtain different secret messages in a deterministic way.     

Quantum Secure Direct Communication by Using Three-Dimensional Hyperentanglement

We propose two schemes for realizing quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) by using a set of ordered two-photon three-dimensional hyperentangled states entangled in two degrees of freedom (DOFs) as quantum information channels. In the first scheme, the photons from Bob to Alice are transmitted only once. After insuring the security of the quantum channels, Bob encodes the secret message on his photons. Then Alice performs single-photon two-DOF Bell bases measurements on her photons. This scheme has better security than former QSDC protocols. In the second scheme, Bob transmits photons to Alice twice. After insuring the security of the quantum channels, Bob encodes the secret message on his photons. Then Alice performs two-photon Bell bases measurements on each DOF. The scheme has more information capacity than former QSDC protocols.     

Controlled Quantum Secure Direct Communication Protocol Based on Huffman Compression Coding

In order to improve the efficiency of quantum secure direct communication, a controlled quantum secure direct communication protocol based on Huffman compression coding is proposed in this paper. The protocol combines classical Huffman coding with quantum communication, Alice performs Huffman compression code and unitary operation on the secret messages and sends them to Bob, and then Bob obtains the corresponding secret messages through decoding operation. In this protocol, communication efficiency can be effectively improved by using Huffman compression coding and sequence generator. As a result, the longer the secret messages, the higher the communication efficiency.     

Quantum Secure Direct Communication with Four-Particle Genuine Entangled State and Dense Coding

At first, the sender (Alice) prepares four-particle genuine entangled states and shares them with the receiver (Bob) by sending two particles in each entangled state to him. Secondly, Alice encodes secret information by performing the unitarytransformations on her particles and transmits them to Bob. Finally, Bob performs the joint measurements on his particles to decode the secret information. The two-step security test guarantees the security of communication.
