Abstract

This paper presents a multi-bits transfer quantum protocol based on the three-stage quantum cryptography in which both parties use their own secret keys. In addition, a quantum three-stage protocol emerging with quantum error correction code is proposed. Finally, a cost comparison between the multi-bits transfer quantum protocol and the original three-stage quantum cryptography protocol is analyzed to show that our protocol has better performance.
