Incompatible Observables

In the direct communication quantum channels, the authorized recipient (Bob) and the non-authorized recipient (Eve) have different abilities for verification of received information. Bob can apply the feedback to commit the sender (Alice) to perform verification. Eve has to use for verification an indirect method based on the measurement of a set of incompatible observables enough for determination of the coding basis used by Alice. In the protocol of direct communication, regular modification of coding basis and masking it with an equilibrium in average information carrier density matrix prevents reconstruction of coding basis by the results of Eve’s measurements of an arbitrary set of observables. This provides unconditional security of the channel.

Joint Reconstruction

AbstractThe calibration of a quantum channel, i.e. the determination of the transmission losses affecting it, is definitely one of the principal objectives in both the quantum communication and quantum metrology frameworks. Another task of the utmost relevance is the identification, e.g. by extracting its photon number distribution, of the noise potentially present in the channel.Here we present a protocol, based on the response of a photon-number-resolving detector at different quantum efficiencies, able to accomplish both of these tasks at once, providing with a single measurement an estimate of the transmission losses as well as the photon statistics of the noise present in the exploited quantum channel.We show and discuss the experimental results obtained in the practical implementation of such protocol, with different kinds and levels of noise.

Optimal Probability

We explicitly present a generalized quantum teleportation of a two-qubit entangled state protocol, which uses two pairs of partially entangled particles as quantum channel. We verify that the optimal probability of successful teleportation is determined by the smallest superposition coefficient of these partially entangled particles. However, the two-qubit entangled state to be teleported will be destroyed if teleportation fails. To solve this problem, we show a more sophisticated probabilistic resumable quantum teleportation scheme of a two-qubit entangled state, where the state to be teleported can be recovered by the sender when teleportation fails. Thus the information of the unknown state is retained during the process. Accordingly, we can repeat the teleportion process as many times as one has available quantum channels. Therefore, the quantum channels with weak entanglement can also be used to teleport unknown two-qubit entangled states successfully with a high number of repetitions, and for channels with strong entanglement only a small number of repetitions are required to guarantee successful teleportation.

Transmission Of Information

Indefinite causal order has introduced disruptive procedures to improve the fidelity of quantum communication by introducing the superposition of { orders} on a set of quantum channels. It has been applied to several well characterized quantum channels as depolarizing, dephasing and teleportation. This work analyses the behavior of a parametric quantum channel for single qubits expressed in the form of Pauli channels. Combinatorics lets to obtain affordable formulas for the analysis of the output state of the channel when it goes through a certain imperfect quantum communication channel when it is deployed as a redundant application of it under indefinite causal order. In addition, the process exploits post-measurement on the associated control to select certain components of transmission. Then, the fidelity of such outputs is analysed to characterize the generic channel in terms of its parameters. As a result, we get notable enhancement in the transmission of information for well characterized channels due to the combined process: indefinite causal order plus post-measurement.

We derive a formula for the time-energy costs of general quantum channels proposed in [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 88}, 012307 (2013)]. This formula allows us to numerically find the time-energy cost of any quantum channel using positive semidefinite programming. We also derive a lower bound to the time-energy cost for any channels and the exact the time-energy cost for a class of channels which includes the qudit depolarizing channels and projector channels as special cases.
