Quantum Cloning Machine Could Prevent Hacking

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Universal optimal quantum cloning of high-dimensional photonic states has been achieved using the symmetrization method. The work has led to the discovery of information that could help system administrators protect quantum computing networks from external attacks. Researchers at the University of Ottawa demonstrated the feasibility of high-dimensional optimal cloning of orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of single photons and used their discovery to perform a cloning attack to a secure quantum channel. The team cloned the qubits of a secure quantum message as well as the no-cloning...Read full article

    quantum
    The term quantum refers to the fundamental unit or discrete amount of a physical quantity involved in interactions at the atomic and subatomic scales. It originates from quantum theory, a branch of physics that emerged in the early 20th century to explain phenomena observed on very small scales, where classical physics fails to provide accurate explanations. In the context of quantum theory, several key concepts are associated with the term quantum: Quantum mechanics: This is the branch of...
