A SECURE QUANTUM COMMUNICATION VIA DEFORMED TRIPARTITE COHERENT STATES

We propose a secure quantum-network protocol using Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) tripartite deformed states. Alice and Bob share a secure key by exchanging the entangled deformed states without basis reconciliation. We investigate a perfect transmission efficiency in a perfect quantum channel. The security of the protocol is ensured by the deformed and correlated tripartite states, which allows us to detect any eavesdropping easily.
