Abstract

This paper presents an improved quantum dialogue protocol based on the HHL algorithm. In this protocol, Alice and Bob want to transmit their classical information to each other. Combining the HHL algorithm and quantum linear equation ensures that eavesdroppers cannot steal the data of communicators. In addition, communicators will connect come HHL quantum circuit constructed in this scheme with the swap test circuit to calculate the solution rather than directly measuring the result, which can improve the solution speed. Security analysis shows that this scheme is more secure than other general quantum dialogue schemes, and it can realize information protection in extreme cases, with good security and higher transmission efficiency.
