Taiwan Researcher Develops “Quantum Encryption” Against “Quantum Hacker”

Google announced last month that their “quantum computer” only took 200 seconds to solve a mathematical problem that would take the fastest supercomputer in the world 10,000 years. Such a powerful “quantum machine”, like the machine Benedict Cumberbatch built in the movie The Imitation Game to decipher the Nazis’ encrypted messages, makes Google the front runner of the “quantum computer” race, where other leading technology companies such as IBM, Microsoft, and Intel are not absent. It is also believed that the national security and the electronic commerce worthy of billion dollars will be forced to face unprecedented security treat from the “quantum computers”.

Under the waves of “quantum threat”, scientists are speeding up the pace to develop the “quantum encryption” against the attacks potentially from the quantum computers. In the movie Avengers: Infinity War, the Avengers desperately hope to use the magic of the quantum world to save the future. Coincidentally, this is the path scientists are taking, too. In 2016, the scientists from University of Science and Technology of China used the low-Earth-orbital satellite to confirm the feasibility of “quantum encryption” in the long-distance communication. The new technology, relying on the same quantum physics as the quantum computers, prevents the communication from hacking and even alarms you when the hackers are present.

Chih-Sung Chuu, a professor of the Quantum Communication Division at the Center for Quantum Technology, leads a group of graduate students (Sheng-Hsuan Huang, Yung-Cheng Kao, Chih-Hsiang Wu, Chin-Hsuan Chang) from National Tsing Hua University to complete the first demonstration of the quantum encrypted communication in Taiwan. Chuu and his team uses “photons”, the particles that constitutes a light beam, to transmit the key for encryption. In the quantum world, these tiny particles exhibit many extraordinary properties. The superposition, a quantum property allowing a particle to make “clones” of itself, is just one of them. This “quantum cloning” not only enhances the computing efficiency of the quantum computers, but also gives the quantum encrypted communication the absolute security it needs.

Nevertheless, the outdoor environment brings challenges to implement the quantum encrypted communication. In order to reduce the disturbances from the fluctuation in temperature and vibration, Chuu and his team distribute a photon evenly in several pulses before letting it enter the Campus Optical Fiber Network to transmit the key. After the photons arrive the receiver’s “quantum decoder”, they are analyzed to generate the key, which can then be used by the “One-Time-Pad” for encrypted communication. Chuu’s work is supported by the Taiwan Ministry of Science and Technology and Ministry of Education, and benefits from the assistances of Kai-Ming Feng’s team of the Institute of Communications Engineering, the Computer and Communication Center of National Tsing Hua University, and the Information Technology Service Center of National Chiao Tung University. Chuu’s next step is to set up a quantum communication network next to the Hsinchu Science Park, preparing for an even larger network in the future. Although Taiwan started late in the development of quantum communication, Chuu’s plan ensures Taiwan to be part of the “quantum Avengers” against the “quantum hackers” who use quantum computers.
