intrusion detection with quantum mechanics: photonic ...humblets/presentations/army... · grice oak...

Travis S. Humble, Ryan S. Bennink, and Warren P. Grice Oak Ridge National Laboratory Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA We describe the use of quantum-mechanically entangled photons for sensing intrusions across a physical perimeter. Our approach to intrusion detection uses the no-cloning principle of quantum information science as protection against an intruder’s ability to spoof a sensor receiver using a ‘classical’ intercept-resend attack. We explore the bounds on detection using quantum detection and estimation theory, and we experimentally demonstrate the underlying principle of entanglement-based detection using the visibility derived from polarization-correlation measurements. Israel J. Owens Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA ABSTRACT Intrusions can be detected by monitoring transmission of a probe beam, e.g., a laser ‘trip wire’, where absence of the probe at a receiver signifies an intrusion. But an intruder can spoof this sensor by sending a doppelganger beam that perfectly replicates the probe. PROBLEM ADDRESSED The no-cloning principle of quantum information science prohibits an intruder from reliably copying an arbitrary qubit of information. This ‘quantum fence’ against intrusion can be implemented by transmitting a patrol photon across the perimeter while retaining an entangled guard in a secure location. The absence of entanglement between received particles indicates an intruder’s presence. This additional layer of security could complement existing methods for monitoring the state of sensor or communication channel. SOLUTION PROPOSED Intruder Guard photon Patrol photon Entanglement source Analyzer (! P ) Analyzer (! G ) A source of entangled photons transmits a patrol photon across a perimeter to a distant receiver (analyzer) and sends the guard photon to a second, secure receiver. An alarm system monitors the entanglement, and the alarm sounds if the measured entanglement drops below a threshold value. Laser Tripwire Detector Intercept-resend Laser Alarm does not sound Validating the authenticity of a probe signal is fundamental to many sensing applications, including fences, locks, seals, surveillance and eavesdropper detection methods.
