Currently, although several semi-quantum private comparison schemes based on Bell states and GHZ states have been proposed, studies utilising nonmaximally entangled W states remain relatively scarce. To address the impact of environmental noise, we employ logical nonmaximally entangled W states as the communication channel to effectively resist the interference caused by phase noise. Based on this approach, this paper proposes a semi-quantum private comparison method resistant to phase noise using nonmaximally entangled W states. Compared with existing protocols, the proposed method not only enhances the resistance to phase noise but also significantly extends the applicability of the communication channel. Extensive security evaluations demonstrate that the proposed scheme exhibits strong robustness against various external and internal attacks from third parties (TP). Furthermore, compared to traditional methods, our scheme achieves notable improvements in communication efficiency and application versatility, thereby enhancing its practicality and robustness in real-world applications.","PeriodicalId":100651,"journal":{"name":"IET Quantum Communication","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/qtc2.70007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144885329","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}

It significantly focuses on the representation data derived from the MNIST and FashionMNIST datasets. The primary difficulty with this approach is optimising a trade-off between accuracy and efficiency by exploiting the gradient-based algorithm. It is a significant phase of the image recognition and transformation process. Provide a strategy for incorporating quantum approaches utilising quantum loss functions, entanglement, and quantum feature maps to improve on conventional gradient-based techniques. Employ hybrid ways that combine quantum algorithms, such as quantum natural gradient descent (QNGD) and variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), with classical optimisation techniques. This approach is applied to updating deformable offsets and optimising quantum eigenvalue issues. We use quantum Fisher information matrices (FIM) and train tensor networks efficiently and accurately. Then, we performed extensive tests comparing the quantum method with established conventional baselines through hyperparameters, such as accuracy, precision, recall and F1 score. The implementation results demonstrate significant gains in classification accuracy, which exhibit 97% on the MNIST dataset and 87% on the FashionMNIST dataset. The result of the paper emphasises significant conclusions, including improved model stability, increased generalisability and decreased overfitting, due to implementing quantum optimisation techniques. With quantum principles applied to convolution and feature extraction, such data exhibit substantial potential in processing.","PeriodicalId":100651,"journal":{"name":"IET Quantum Communication","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/qtc2.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144740114","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}

To assess the degradational effect of counter-propagating SRS, we carried out laboratory experiments to analyse the impact of different variables, namely the input power, fibre length and channel arrangement. Based on the measurement results, we developed a new model for defining SRS within the C-band, which provides more precision in describing the impact of SRS compared to the previously used simplified V-shape model. A 96-channel DWDM use case, including one quantum and 90 classical channels, is modelled to identify the optimal channel wavelength allocation strategy. Using the revised model, we concluded that the optimal channel layout, where the channel numbering is based on the ITU-T standard, is with the quantum channel being the 88th (1533.4 nm), or the 96th (1530.2 nm) if we consider the classical capacity. In contrast, if the V-shape model is used for defining the optimal channel allocation, the quantum channel would be the 59th (1545 nm). The results show the importance of accurately modelling SRS, as determining the right channel placement is essential for the coexistence of quantum and classical channels.","PeriodicalId":100651,"journal":{"name":"IET Quantum Communication","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/qtc2.70004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144315317","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}

Srinivasan","doi":"10.1049/qtc2.70002","DOIUrl":"10.1049/qtc2.70002","url":null,"abstract":"Many quantum algorithms operate on classical data, by first encoding classical data into the quantum domain using quantum data encoding circuits. To be effective for large data sets, encoding circuits that operate on large data sets are required. However, as the size of the data sets increases, the encoding circuits quickly become large, complex and error prone. Errors in the encoding circuit will provide incorrect inputs to quantum algorithms, making them ineffective. To address this problem, a formal method is proposed for verification of encoding circuits. The key idea to address scalability is the use of abstractions that reduce the verification problem to bit-vector space. The major outcome of this work is that using this approach, the authors have been able to verify encoding circuits with up to 8191 qubits with very low memory (85 MB) and time (0.29s), demonstrating that the proposed approach can easily be employed to verify even much larger encoding circuits. The results are very significant because, traditional verification approaches that rely on modelling quantum circuits in Hilbert space have only demonstrated verification scalability up to 250 qubits. Also, this is the first approach to tackle the verification of quantum encoding circuits.","PeriodicalId":100651,"journal":{"name":"IET Quantum Communication","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/qtc2.70002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877817","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}

These IIoT nodes transmit data over a common shared communication medium. The existing critical challenge arises in efficiently scheduling access to this shared medium among a large number of connected IIoT nodes. To address the challenge of random access in IIoT networks, the power of the entanglement-assisted (EA) protocol was exploited to expand the capacity region boundaries of the shared communication medium, thereby enhancing the throughput and quality-of-service (QoS) requirements of the heterogeneous IIoT network. In the literature, IIoT networks are mainly categorised into two types: centralised and distributed. In this paper, we proposed two distinct models: (1) a centralised multi-class IIoT network based on EA protocol and (2) a distributed multi-class IIoT network based on EA protocol. Next, the authors analytically demonstrated that integrating the EA protocol into both proposed types of multi-class IIoT networks significantly increases the capacity region boundaries compared to the classical reference model, namely slotted ALOHA (SA). Finally, the network performance boundaries were evaluated by analysing the throughput values for different network classes and varying numbers of IIoT nodes. The results demonstrate that, for both proposed models (1) and (2), the transmitted load generated by the IIoT nodes over the shared medium achieves dramatically higher throughput compared to the reference IIoT network based on SA.","PeriodicalId":100651,"journal":{"name":"IET Quantum Communication","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/qtc2.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143865764","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}

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.","PeriodicalId":100651,"journal":{"name":"IET Quantum Communication","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"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}
