Quantum broadcasting of the generalized GHZ state: quantum noise analysis using quantum state tomography via IBMQ simulation

Abstract

This study focuses on the challenges posed by quantum noise to communication protocols, with a particular emphasis on the vulnerabilities of current quantum broadcast protocols. The research employs the generalized GHZ state, known for its multipartite entangled cluster state with real-value coefficients, as a diagnostic tool to understand and address the impact of quantum noise on transmitted information. Implementing two novel controlled quantum broadcast schemes on the IBM Quantum (IBMQ) Experience platform, using the Qiskit library and the QASM simulator, the investigation evaluates the effects of four different types of quantum noise through Kraus operator models. A notable aspect of the study is the pioneering use of quantum state tomography for a comprehensive analysis of quantum noise effects, providing novel insights into the resilience of quantum communication protocols.
