Abstract
Deterministic Secure Quantum Communication (DSQC) is a quantum cryptographic technique engineered to transfer a message through a quantum channel, requiring an auxiliary classical channel for eavesdropping verification and decoding, but without prior key distribution. This article presents a theoretical high-dimensional prepare and measure DSQC protocol using the Reed-Solomon erasure coding to ensure data resilience to noise. This protocol offers the following benefits: it eliminates the need for quantum memory or entanglement, it can be built with commercially available technology, and its higher capacity improves the overall transmission rate.
