Abstract
In this review article, we will review the recent process of quantum communications. In the past decades, there are many developments in quantum communication, for instance, quantum key distribution, quantum teleportation, quantum secure direct communication, deterministic secure quantum communication, quantum secret sharing and so on. And we focus our attention on the recent developments in quantum communication protocols.
