Quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) allows secret messages to be directly communicated over a quantum channel; its further development could lead to many practical applications. In this paper, we propose a novel continuous-variable (CV)-based QSDC which could be compatible with fully developed optical telecommunication technologies to minimize the implementation costs. Through a security analysis we show that the proposed scheme can effectively resist an eavesdropper's attacks on the light intensity. Furthermore, our work should inspire the improvement, development and application of CV-based QSDC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
