Quantum secure data transfer with pulse shape encoded optical qubits
arXiv:2105.09205
Abstract
Quantum secure data transfer is an important topic for quantum cyber security. We propose a scheme to realize quantum secure data transfer in the basis of quantum secure direct communication (QSDC). In this proposal, the transmitted data is encoded in the pulse shape of a single optical qubit, which is emitted from a trapped atom owned by the sender and received by the receiver with another trapped atom. The encoding process can be implemented with high fidelity by controlling the time-dependent driving pulse on the trapped atom to manipulate the Rabi frequency in accordance with the target pulse shape of the emitted photons. In the receiving process, we prove that, the single photon can be absorbed with arbitrary probability by selecting appropriate driving pulse. We also show that, based on the QSDC protocol, the data transfer process is immune to the individual attacks.
