Quantum energy teleportation (QET) is a process that leverages quantum entanglement and local operations to transfer energy between two spatially separated locations without physically transporting particles or energy carriers. We construct a QET-based quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol and analyze its security and robustness to noise in both the classical and the quantum channels. We generalize the construction to an $N$-party information sharing protocol, possessing a feature that dishonest participants can be detected.

We employ quantum circuit learning to simulate quantum field theories (QFTs). Typically, when simulating QFTs with quantum computers, we encounter significant challenges due to the technical limitations of quantum devices when implementing the Hamiltonian using Pauli spin matrices. To address this challenge, we leverage quantum circuit learning, employing a compact configuration of qubits and low-depth quantum circuits to predict real-time dynamics in quantum field theories. The key advantage of this approach is that a single-qubit measurement can accurately forecast various physical parameters, including fully-connected operators. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, we use it to predict quench dynamics, chiral dynamics and jet production in a 1+1-dimensional model of quantum electrodynamics. We find that our predictions closely align with the results of rigorous classical calculations, exhibiting a high degree of accuracy. This hybrid quantum-classical approach illustrates the feasibility of efficiently simulating large-scale QFTs on cutting-edge quantum devices.

A decentralized online quantum cash system, called qBitcoin, is given. We design the system which has great benefits of quantization in the following sense. Firstly, quantum teleportation technology is used for coin transaction, which prevents from the owner of the coin keeping the original coin data even after sending the coin to another. This was a main problem in a classical circuit and a blockchain was introduced to solve this issue. In qBitcoin, the double-spending problem never happens and its security is guaranteed theoretically by virtue of quantum information theory. Making a block is time consuming and the system of qBitcoin is based on a quantum chain, instead of blocks. Therefore a payment can be completed much faster than Bitcoin. Moreover we employ quantum digital signature so that it naturally inherits properties of peer-to-peer (P2P) cash system as originally proposed in Bitcoin.
