• Abstract: Steganography is an alternative to cryptography, where information is protected by secrecy -- being disguised as innocent communication or noise -- rather than being scrambled. In this work we develop schemes for steganographic communication using Fock and coherent states in optical channels based on disguising the communications as thermal noise. We derive bounds on their efficiency in the case of an all-powerful eavesdropper, and provide explicit methods of encoding and error correction for the noiseless channel case.

  We propose a novel framework of physical layer deception (PLD) to actively counteract wiretapping attempts. PLD combines PLS with deception technologies to actively counteract wiretapping attempts. We prove the validity of the PLD framework with in-depth analyses and demonstrate its superiority over conventional PLS approaches.

• High Fidelity Artificial Quantum Thermal State Generation using Encoded Coherent States [0.0]
  Quantum steganography is a powerful method for information security where communications are disguised as naturally occurring noise in a channel. We encoded the phase and amplitude of weak coherent laser states such that a third party monitoring the communications channel would see an amalgamation of states indistinguishable from thermal noise light.

  We propose an end-to-end (E2E) learning-based approach for secure communication against multiple eavesdroppers.

  Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers theoretical security based on the laws of physics. We present a novel approach to eavesdropper location that can be employed in quantum as well as classical channels. We demonstrate that our approach outperforms conventional OTDR in the task of localizing an evanescent outcoupling of 1% with cm precision inside standard optical fibers.

• Protecting Classical-Quantum Signals in Free Space Optical Channels [0.0]
  This work presents an error correction protocol capable of protecting a signal passing through such channels by encoding it with an ancillary entangled bipartite state. We show how, relative to non-encoded direct transmission, the protocol can improve the fidelity of transmitted coherent states over a wide range of losses and erasure probabilities. We briefly discuss the application of our protocol to the transmission of more complex input states, such as multi-mode entangled states.

  This paper studies the study of fault-tolerant channel coding for quantum channels. We use techniques from fault-tolerant quantum computing to establish coding theorems for sending classical and quantum information in this scenario. We extend these methods to the case of entanglement-assisted communication, in particular proving that the fault-tolerant capacity approaches the usual capacity when the gate error approaches zero.

  Recently, neural decoders have demonstrated their advantage over classical decoding techniques. Recent state-of-the-art neural decoders suffer from high complexity and lack the important iterative scheme characteristic of many legacy decoders. We propose to employ denoising diffusion models for the soft decoding of linear codes at arbitrary block lengths.

  Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (QKD) employs the quadratures of a bosonic mode to establish a secret key between two remote parties. We consider a protocol with homodyne detection in the general setting of composable finite-size security. In particular, we analyze the high signal-to-noise regime which requires the use of high-rate (non-binary) low-density parity check codes.
