Abstract
The first photon in single-photon state is divided into two components by the half beam splitter, and the first component is sent to the sender while the second component is sent to the receiver. The sender measures the first component of the first photon when he sends '1'. The sender doesn't measure the first component of the first photon when he sends '0'. The receiver makes the second component of the first photon enter into the Sagnac interferometer, and the receiver also makes the reference light enter into the Sagnac interferometer at the same time. The receiver makes the second component of the first photon interact with the reference light in the nonlinear optical medium arranged in the Sagnac interferometer. The receiver knows the signal from the phase modulation of the reference light caused by the interaction with the second component of the first photon.
