摘要
Establishing entanglement is an essential task of quantum communication technology.Beyond entanglement,quantum discord,as a measure of quantum correlation,is a necessary prerequisite to the success of entanglement distribution.To realize efficient quantum communication based on quantum discord,in this paper,we consider the practical advantages of continuous variables and propose a feasible continuous-variable quantum network coding scheme based on quantum discord.By means of entanglement distribution by separable states,it can achieve quantum entanglement distribution from sources to targets in a butterfly network.Compared with the representative discrete-variable quantum network coding schemes,the proposed continuous-variable quantum network coding scheme has a higher probability of entanglement distribution and defends against eavesdropping and forgery attacks.Particularly,the deduced relationship indicates that the increase in entanglement is less than or equal to quantum discord.
