Description
Summary:Quantum private queries can commonly protect important information in a good many of domains, such as finance, business, military, which use quantum effects to achieve unprecedented classical private queries. However, quantum state can be easily affected by environmental noise, which affects the actual effect of quantum private queries. This paper developed a new quantum private query protocol based on four qubits logical Bell state to resist the collective-dephasing noise. The symmetric private information retrieval problem, which is the most influential problem in the process of quantum private query, was solved well by quantum oblivious transfer. It introduces the construction of four qubits logical Bell state. The quantum private query protocol innovates the quantum key distribution process by using the four qubits logical Bell state as the measurement base to measure the logical qubits, and ensures the function of quantum oblivious transmission. The protocol cannot only resist the noise influence of the communication process, but also ensure the security of both sides of the communication.
