Quantum Enhanced Hazardous Substances Surveillance System

Abstract

Unauthorized access to hazardous substances poses a serious threat to public health. Typically, these substances, such as chemicals, are housed within warehouses or laboratory facilities, making strict control over any unauthorized entry. The control can be achieved through various measures, including access control systems, registration systems, remote inspection and surveillance, and personnel checks. Given its essential significance, the security of surveillance system data transmission plays a critical role. On the one hand, authorized entities must be capable of detecting any malicious data interception, and on the other hand, confidential information must remain safeguarded when an eavesdropper is identified. To address transmission security, we have developed a quantum-communication-based system for transmitting surveillance imagery of the hazardous chemical storage area entrance. This system effectively thwarts eavesdropping and data tampering during transmission, thereby enhancing the security of conventional monitoring systems.
