- Title: Covert Quantum Communication Over Optical Channels
- Authors: Evan J.D. Anderson, Christopher K. Eyre, Isabel M. Dailey, and Boulat

- Abstract summary: Covert communication ensures that an adversary is unable to detect transmissions, which are concealed in channel noise.
We investigate an achievable lower bound on quantum covert communication using photonic dual-rail qubits.
This encoding has practical significance, as it has been proposed for long-range repeater-based quantum communication over optical channels.

- Abstract: We explore the problem of covertly communicating qubits over the lossy
thermal-noise bosonic channel, which is a quantum-mechanical model of many
practical channels, including optical. Covert communication ensures that an
adversary is unable to detect the presence of transmissions, which are
concealed in channel noise. We investigate an achievable lower bound on quantum
covert communication using photonic dual-rail qubits. This encoding has
practical significance, as it has been proposed for long-range repeater-based
quantum communication over optical channels.

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.

encode and decode circuits to reliably send messages over many uses of a noisy channel.
For every quantum channel $T$ and every $eps>0$ there exists a threshold $p(epsilon,T)$ for the gate error probability below which rates larger than $C-epsilon$ are fault-tolerantly achievable.
Our results are relevant in communication over large distances, and also on-chip, where distant parts of a quantum computer might need to communicate under higher levels of noise.

Communication over a quantum channel that depends on a quantum state is considered when the encoder has channel side information (CSI) and is required to mask information on the quantum channel state from the decoder.
A full characterization is established for the entanglement-assisted masking equivocation region, and a regularized formula is given for the quantum capacity-leakage function without assistance.

We show that the adiabatic protocol protects against loss in the channel, achieving higher state transfer and entanglement fidelities than the relay method.
