  3. B92 protocol

  4. GHZ protocol
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The GHZ protocol is the protocol used in quantum teleportation to transmit the quantum state of one particle to another. It involves the use of three entangled particles, with one particle being measured in a specific way to instantaneously affect the state of the other two particles.

Multiple choice

What is the name of the device used to amplify the signal in a quantum communication system?

  1. Quantum repeater

  2. Quantum amplifier

  3. Quantum regenerator

  4. Quantum converter
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A quantum repeater is a device used to amplify the signal in a quantum communication system. It works by entangling a new pair of particles with the incoming entangled particles, effectively extending the distance over which entanglement can be maintained.
