    Abstract

    The information manipulation relevance among different users has profound significance in secure quantum communication. EPR steering, which means that one party can steer the state of a distant party by exploiting shared entanglement, is an important resource in a secure quantum network. In this work, we present a quantum switch scheme based on entanglement swapping, in which a tunable beam splitter is set as a control switch during the swapping of two space-separated EPR entangled states. The dependence of the EPR steering direction on the reflectivity of tunable beam splitter is observed, and the control of steering direction among different users is investigated. The proposed scheme has reference value for secure quantum communication.
