Development of hybrid ARQ protocol for the quantum communication system on stabilizer codes

In this paper, we develop a novel hybrid automatic-repeat-request (ARQ) protocol for the quantum communication system using quantum stabilizer codes. The quantum information is encoded by stabilizer codes to against the channel noise. The two-photon entangled state is prepared for codeword secure transmission. Hybrid ARQ protocol rules the recognition and retransmission of error codewords. In this protocol, the property of quantum entangled state ensures the security of information, the theory of hybrid ARQ system improves the reliability of transmission, the theory of quantum stabilizer codes corrects the flipping errors of codewords. Finally, we verify the security and throughput efficiency of this protocol.
