Covert Quantum Internet
We apply covert quantum communication based on entanglement generated from
the Minkowski vacuum to the setting of quantum computation and quantum
networks. Our approach hides the generation and distribution of entanglement in
quantum networks by taking advantage of relativistic quantum effects. We devise
a suite of covert quantum teleportation protocols that utilize the shared
entanglement, local operations, and covert classical communication to transfer
or process quantum information in stealth. As an application of our covert
suite, we construct two prominent examples of measurement-based quantum
computation, namely the teleportation-based quantum computer and the one-way
quantum computer. In the latter case we explore the covert generation of graph
states, and subsequently outline a protocol for the covert implementation of
universal blind quantum computation.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure
