Measurement-device-independent quantum wireless network communication

Quantum wireless communication networks are an important part of global quantum networks. Here we propose a measurement-device-independent quantum wireless network communication protocol, which can not only close detector-side-channel loopholes launched by malicious nodes but also remedy the drawback of a perfectly shared Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state between the nodes. Moreover, the correctness of the generated entanglement between the sender and the receiver is checked. The security analysis shows that the proposed protocol is secure against common attacks from malicious nodes.

In this study, a measurement-device-independent quantum wireless network communication protocol is proposed, which aims to address the issues of malicious node attacks and the drawback of shared states between nodes.
