Measurement Device Independent Quantum Private Query with Qutrits

Abstract

Measurement Device Independent Quantum Private Query (MDI QPQ) with qutrits is presented. We compare the database security and client's privacy in MDI QPQ for qubits with qutrits. For some instances, we observe that qutrit will provide better security for database than qubit. However, when it comes to the question of client's privacy we have to take additional measures in case of qutrit. Hence we conclude that though in case of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) higher dimension provides better security but in case of QPQ this is not obvious.
