A robust quantum private query based on six-qubit with decoherence

Abstract

In order to deal with the error of oblivious key distribution caused by quantum channel noise, a new quantum privacy query (QPQ) protocol with six-qubit with decoherence is proposed. When the error rate caused by quantum channel noise is less than 30%, the final key bit error rate of this protocol is better than that of other QPQ protocols using the same post-processing algorithm. Furthermore, the protocol is also a cheat-sensitive protocol, in which dishonesty of either party can be detected.
