Revisiting quantum secure direct communication with W state

Abstract: The quantum secure direct communication protocol recently proposed by Cao and Song [Chin, Phys. Lett. 23 (2006) 290] (i.e., the C-S QSDC protocol) is revisited. A security leak is pointed out. Taking advantage of this leak, an eavesdropper may adopt the intercept-measure-resend strategy to attack the quantum channel such that in the C-S QSDC protocol the secret message can be completely eavesdropped. To fix the leak, the original version of the C-S QSDC protocol is revised. As a consequence, the security is improved and assured at least in the ideal case of an ideal quantum channel.

Multiparty-Controlled Remote Preparation of Two-Particle State

Abstract: We propose a scheme for multiparty-controlled remote preparation of the two-particle state by using two non-maximally Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger states as quantum channel. Our scheme consists of one sender and n remote receivers. It will be shown that the sender can help either one of the n receivers to remotely preparation the original state with the appropriate probability, and the sender Alice's two-particle projective measurement and the controllers' single-particle product measurements are needed. We also obtained the probability of the successful remote state preparation.

Classical Communication Cost and Probabilistic Remote Preparation of Four-Particle Entangled W State

Abstract: We present a scheme for probabilistic remote preparation of the four-particle entangled W state by using four partial entangled two-particle states as the quantum channel. In this scheme, if Alice (sender) performs four-particle projective measurements and Bob (receiver) adopts some appropriate unitary operation, the remote state preparation can be successfully realized with certain probability. The classical communication cost is also calculated. However, the success probability of preparation can be increased to 1 for four kinds of special states.

Probabilistic Teleportation of an Arbitrary Unknown Two-Qubit State via Positive Operator-Valued Measure and Two Non-maximally Entangled States

Abstract: We present a scheme for probabilistically teleporting an arbitrary unknown two-qubit state through a quantum channel made up of two nonidentical non-maximally entangled states. In this scheme, the probabilistic teleportation is realized by using a proper positive operator-valued measure instead of usual projective measurement.

Assisted Cloning and Orthogonal Complementing of an Arbitrary Unknown Two-Qubit Entangled State

Abstract: Based on A.K. Pati's original idea [Phys. Rev. A 61 (2000) 022308] on single-qubit-state-assisted clone, very recently Zhan has proposed two assisted quantum cloning protocols of a special class of unknown two-qubit entangled states [Phys. Lett. A 336 (2005) 317]. In this paper we further generalize Zhan's protocols such that an arbitrary unknown two-qubit entangled state can be treated.

Quantum Secure Communication Using a Class of Three-Particle W State

Abstract: A theoretical scheme of quantum secure communication using a class of three-particle W states is proposed. In the scheme, two communicators may communicate after they test the security of the quantum channel. The receiver can obtain the secret message determinately if the quantum channel is safe. The present scheme can be realized without using teleportation.

Controlled remote state preparation of arbitrary two and three qubit states via the Brown state

Abstract: In this paper, several new protocols for the controlled remote state preparation (CRSP) by using the Brown state as the quantum channel are proposed. Firstly, we propose a CRSP protocol of an arbitrary two qubit state. Then, the CRSP protocol of an arbitrary three qubit state, which has rarely been considered by the previous papers, is investigated. The coefficients of the prepared states can be not only real, but also complex. To design these protocols, some useful and general measurement bases are constructed, which can greatly reduce the restrictions for the coefficients of the prepared states. The security analysis is provided in detail. Moreover, receiver's all recovery operations are summarized into a concise formula.

Fault tolerant quantum secure direct communication with quantum encryption against collective noise

Abstract: We present two novel quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocols over different collective-noise channels. Different from the previous QSDC schemes over collective-noise channels, which are all source-encrypting protocols, our two protocols are based on channel-encryption. In both schemes, two authorized users first share a sequence of EPR pairs as their reusable quantum key. Then they use their quantum key to encrypt and decrypt the secret message carried by the decoherence-free states over the collective-noise channel. In theory, the intrinsic efficiencies of both protocols are high since there is no need to consume any entangled states including both the quantum key and the information carriers except the ones used for eavesdropping checks. For checking eavesdropping, the two parties only need to perform two-particle measurements on the decoy states during each round. Finally, we make a security analysis of our two protocols and demonstrate that they are secure.
