Abstract

Description

We propose quantum cryptographic protocols to secretly communicate a reference frame- unspeakable information in the sense it cannot be encoded into a string of bits. Two distant parties can secretly align their Cartesian axes by exchanging N spin 1/2 particles, achieving the optimal accuracy 1/N. A possible eavesdropper cannot gain any information without being detected.
