  An unsolved problem in relativistic quantum information research is how to
model efficient, directional quantum communication between localised parties in
a fully quantum field theoretical framework. We propose a tractable approach to
this problem based on solving the Heisenberg evolution of localized field
observables. We illustrate our approach by analysing, and obtaining approximate
analytical solutions to, the problem of communicating coherent states between
an inertial sender, Alice and an accelerated receiver, Rob. We use these
results to determine the efficiency with which continuous variable quantum key
distribution could be carried out over such a communication channel.
