Semi-quantum protocol for deterministic secure quantum communication using Bell states

摘要

Based on Bell states, this paper proposes a semi-quantum protocol enabling the limited semi-quantum or "classical" userBob to transmit the secret message to a fully quantum Alice directly. A classical user is restricted to measure, prepare, reorder and send quantum states only in the classical basis {vertical bar 0 , vertical bar 1 }. The protocol must rely on the quantum Alice to produce Bell states, perform Bell basis measurement and store qubits, but the classical party Bob does not require quantum memory. Security and efficiency of the proposed schemes have been discussed. The analysis results show that the protocol is secure against some eavesdropping attacks and the qubit efficiency of the protocol is higher than the other related semi-quantum protocols.
