Despite these benefits, their implementation has been constrained by challenges in generation, transmission, and detection. This paper presents a novel theoretical framework for transmitting quantum information using qudit entanglement distribution over a superposition of causal orders in two quantum channels. Using this model, a quantum switch operation for 2-qudit systems is introduced, which facilitates enhanced fidelity of entanglement distribution and quantum teleportation. The results demonstrate that the use of qudits in entanglement distribution achieves a fidelity improvement from 0.5 (for qubit-based systems) to 0.94 for 20-dimensional qudits, even under noisy channel conditions. This enhancement is achieved by exploiting the increased Hilbert space of high-dimensional states and the inherent noise-resilience properties of quantum switches operating in superpositions of causal orders. The findings underscore the potential of qudit-based quantum systems in achieving robust and high-fidelity communication in environments where traditional qubit-based systems face limitations.</p>","PeriodicalId":100651,"journal":{"name":"IET Quantum Communication","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/qtc2.12122","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143118771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing QKD protocols encounter challenges related to efficiency and transmission capabilities. In response, this research investigates the integration of metamaterials into QKD systems, aiming to fortify security and enhance practicality. In the current landscape of quantum communication, where the vulnerability of classical encryption methods is magnified by rapid advancements in quantum computing, finding innovative solutions is imperative. This study is motivated by the need to strengthen the security and viability of QKD protocols to meet the demands of evolving cryptographic threats. By integrating metamaterials, the authors optimise quantum state control, improve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and enable longer transmission distances. Through mathematical modelling and simulations, the authors demonstrate how metamaterials reduce errors and enhance the robustness of QKD systems. Our findings show significant improvements in transmission efficiency and security, making Metamaterial-Based Quantum Key Distribution (MQKD) a promising approach for future quantum communication networks.

Leveraging quantum principles such as superposition and entanglement, P-QTFPR-DM optimises <i>Q</i>-value approximation through a custom quantum circuit (UQC), facilitating efficient exploration and exploitation in high-dimensional state-action spaces. This algorithm utilises a quantum neural network (QNN) with 4 qubits to encode and process <i>Q</i>-values.

Through extensive numerical simulations, P-QTFPR-DM demonstrates a 30% reduction in decision-making time and a 25% improvement in navigation accuracy compared to classical RL methods. The QNN-based approach achieves a 95% success rate in reaching the destination within a 5-m accuracy threshold, whereas traditional RL methods achieve only an 85% success rate. Dynamic memory management in P-QTFPR-DM optimises computational resources, enhancing the vehicle's adaptability to environmental changes.
