Quantum fingerprinting without a shared phase reference

Abstract

One of the standard communication complexity problems is deciding whether bit strings held by two separate parties Alice (A) and Bob (B) are equal or different. In the simultaneous message passing model, A and B send certain information to a Referee, who makes the decision. The overall goal is to minimize the amount of communication involved while not exceeding desired error probability. This is achieved by sending only fingerprints of the original n-bit strings. In the best classical protocols, these scale as O(n) if A and B have no access to shared randomness [1]. The recently proposed [2] and demonstrated quantum fingerprinting [3], exploiting phase-modulated weak coherent pulses, provides O(log2n) scaling in the number of used qubits, but needs phase stability between A and B. Here we introduce and analyse a quantum fingerprinting protocol based on two-photon interference which does require a shared phase reference and works in scenarios when the global phase of transmitted signals becomes completely random. Interestingly, the performance of this protocol, quantified in terms of the Chernoff information [4], is enhanced through the use of non-classical single-photon states, even in the regime of high transmission loss.
