abstract = {<jats:p>Quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) is an evolving quantum communication framework based on transmitting secure information directly through a quantum channel, without relying on key-based encryption such as in quantum key distribution (QKD). Optical QSDC protocols, utilizing discrete and continuous variable encodings, show great promise for future technological applications. We present the first table-top continuous-variable QSDC proof of principle, analyzing its implementation and comparing the use of coherent against squeezed light sources. A simple beam-splitter attack is analyzed by using Wyner wiretap channel theory. Our study illustrates the advantage of squeezed states over coherent ones for enhanced security and reliable communication in lossy and noisy channels. Our practical implementation, utilizing mature telecom components, could foster secure quantum metropolitan networks compatible with advanced multiplexing systems.</jats:p>},

abstract = {<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Recent studies demonstrated that the optical channels encoded by Orbital Angular Momentum (<jats:italic>OAM</jats:italic>) are capable candidates for improving the next generation of communication systems. <jats:italic>OAM</jats:italic> states can enhance the capacity and security of high-dimensional communication channels in both classical and quantum regimes based on optical fibre and free space. Hence, fast and precise control of the beams encoded by <jats:italic>OAM</jats:italic> can provide their commercial applications in the compatible communication networks. Integrated optical devices are good miniaturized options to perform this issue. This paper proposes a numerically verified integrated high-frequency electro-optical modulator for manipulation of the guided modes encoded in both <jats:italic>OAM</jats:italic> and polarization states. The proposed modulator is designed as an electro-optically active Lithium Niobate (<jats:italic>LN</jats:italic>) core photonic wire with silica as its cladding in a <jats:italic>LN</jats:italic> on Insulator (<jats:italic>LNOI</jats:italic>) configuration. It consists of two successive parts; a phase shifter to reverse the rotation handedness of the input <jats:italic>OAM</jats:italic> state and a polarization converter to change the horizontally polarized <jats:italic>OAM</jats:italic> state to the vertically polarized one. It is shown that all four possible output polarization-<jats:italic>OAM</jats:italic> encoded states can be achieved with only 6 <jats:italic>V</jats:italic> and 7 <jats:italic>V</jats:italic> applied voltages to the electrodes in the two parts of the modulator.</jats:p>},
