We extend covert communication to the quantum regime by showing that covert quantum communication is possible over optical channels with noise arising either from the environment or from the sender's lab. In particular, we show that…
In this work, we examine the optimality of Gaussian signalling for covert communications with an upper bound on $\mathcal{D}(p_{_1}||p_{_0})$ or $\mathcal{D}(p_{_0}||p_{_1})$ as the covertness constraint, where $\mathcal{D}(p_{_1}||p_{_0})$…

In this work we consider a communication problem in which a sender, Alice, wishes to communicate with a receiver, Bob, over a channel controlled by an adversarial jammer, James, who is {\em myopic}. Roughly speaking, for blocklength $n$,…
Covert communication is the undetected transmission of sensitive information over a communication channel. In wireless communication systems, channel impairments such as signal fading present challenges in the effective implementation and…
A user, Alice, wants to get server Bob to implement a quantum computation for her. However, she wants to leave him blind to what she's doing. What are the minimal communication resources Alice must use in order to achieve…
