This paper presents an overview of quantum errors and noise channels, their mathematical modeling and its implementation in quantum one time password (QOTP) based user authentication. Quantum noise plays a pivotal role in understanding quantum information theory which is important to build up quantum communication theory. The Kraus operators provide a powerful mathematical tool in understanding and modeling various quantum channels. Use of QOTP provides an impressive method of carrying out user authentication involving quantum operations based on user biometrics. However, the efficiency of this method can be better envisaged by incorporating noise models during qubit transmission.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
