Entanglement-based quantum communication may prevent tracking the message sender

The possibility of attaining current position of the message sender without person's consent seriously compromises the secrecy of correspondence. Classical communication systems cannot guarantee the security of communication against unwanted location tracking, because the sender must broadcast a signal at the moment of sending the message. The source of the signal could be always located, at least in principle. We show that quantum communication enables sending the message with pre-distributed entangled quantum systems, local weak measurements, time synchronization between the sender and the receiver and classical communication by the message receiver alone, therefore, physically securing the sender's location.
