Abstract

We develop an information-theoretic analysis of Quantum-Memory-Free (QMF) Quantum Secure Direct Communication (QSDC) under collective attacks as an alternative to the conventional Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol with one-time pads. Our main contributions are: 1) a QMF-QSDC protocol that only relies on universal hashing of coded sequences without wiretap coding; 2) a set of privacy amplification theorems for extracting secrecy from coded classical sequences against quantum side-information. These tools open the way to the design of robust QMF-QSDC protocols.
