This study introduces a new quantum communication protocol using entangled qubits for secure key distribution and direct communication. It offers instantaneous information transfer and detects eavesdropping with a 50% rate, enabling practical applications.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum communication
  • Quantum cryptography
  • Information security

Background:

  • Existing secure communication protocols face challenges in efficiency and security against advanced eavesdropping.
  • Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers enhanced security but often requires discarding qubits or has limitations in direct communication.
  • Deterministic information transfer in quantum systems is crucial for practical, high-speed communication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel secure communication protocol utilizing entangled qubit pairs.
  • To enable asymptotically secure key distribution and quasisecure direct communication.
  • To ensure deterministic information transfer without qubit loss and provide robust security against eavesdropping.

Main Methods:

  • The protocol employs entangled pairs of qubits for secure information transfer.
