High Dimensional Quantum Digital Signature Depending on Entanglement Swapping

Abstract

While a single qubit information can be carried with a single photon in 2−dimensional quantum technology, it is possible to carry more than one qubit information with a single photon in high-dimensional quantum technologies. The amount of qubit to be transported depends on the size of the system obtained in the high dimension. In other words, the more high-dimensional quantum structure it creates, the more qubit-carrying system is obtained. In this study, a high dimensional quantum digital signature(QDS) scheme is proposed for multi-partied by using entanglement swapping and super-dense coding. QDS, which is proposed as highdimensional, allows more data and high-rate keys to be transferred. Security analysis of propesed QDS in high-dimensional show that the propablity of anyone obtaining information is much lower than in qubit states. Since all data(quantum and classic) in this protocol is instantly sent by using entanglement channels it is more resilient eavesdropping attacks. Today, developments in highdimensional experimental studies show that the high-dimensional QDS proposed in this study can be implemented practically.
