About the project
In this PHD project we aim to provide insights into the potential large-scale deployment of Quantum Secure Direct Communication technology in real-life scenarios.
Following a comprehensive review of the fundamental principles of Quantum Secure Direct Communication (QSDC), free-space QSDC will be investigated. Channel coding will be harnessed to enhance the reliability of the QSDC communication link.
The University of Southampton is expanding its PhD research in the area of Quantum Technology Engineering. In addition to the research project outlined below you will receive substantial training in scientific, technical, and commercial skills.
Quantum Secure Direct Communication represents a unique paradigm in secure information transmission, harnessing quantum states to ensure confidentiality and reliability in the face of a noisy, lossy, and wiretapped quantum channel.
The method has demonstrated information-theoretical security, showcasing its potential to revolutionize secure communication technologies.
Recent experimental breakthroughs underscore the viability of QSDC for long-distance communication and large-scale networking, particularly in the context of free-space communication, which presents unique advantages and promising prospects for practical, large-scale applications.
