Abstract
Possibility of using non-maximally entangled states in quantum bidirectional direct communication has been shown recently by Srikanth A and Balakrishnan (Quantum Inf. Process. 19:133, 2020) [1]. The effect of noise in this protocol is analyzed by considering amplitude and phase damping models. Suitable combinations of messages and initial states are identified to minimize the effect of noise in the protocol. Further, we have shown the possibility of demarking the effects due to noise and the intruder.
