摘要:
Systems and methods for digital communication utilizing entangled qubits are disclosed. The disclosed systems and methods exploit selective entanglement swapping to transfer an entangled state between a sending device and a receiving device. Each device includes pairs of qubits that are independently entangled with pairs of qubits in the other device. By selectively entangling the qubits within a pair in the sending device, the qubits of the corresponding pair in the receiving device also are selectively entangled. When the qubits are entangled, they are projected onto a particular entangled state type. Though no information may be transferred through selective entanglement of one qubit pair, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine whether a set of pairs of qubits are entangled by determining whether the distribution of pairs is a correlated or uncorrelated distribution (a probabilistic approach) and transform the distribution type to a classical bit of data.

A switching device includes a first electrode at least partially disposed within a sealed chamber. The sealed chamber encloses a plasma phase change material. The switching device includes a second electrode at least partially disposed within the sealed chamber. The second electrode is physically separated from the first electrode. When subjected to a signal that satisfies a threshold, the plasma phase change material forms a plasma within the sealed chamber. The first electrode is electrically coupled to the second electrode via the plasma when the plasma is formed. The first electrode is electrically isolated from the second electrode when the plasma is not formed. The switching device includes a first connector electrically coupled to the first electrode and a second connector electrically coupled to the second electrode. The first connector, the second connector, or both, are configured to receive the signal.

The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for measuring a phase difference between a first set of photons and a second set of photons. The techniques can include directing the first set of photons to a first parametric downconverter, directing the second set of photons to a second parametric downconverter, directing photons output from an exotic photon source to the first downconverter and directing photons output from the first parametric downconverter to a first beam splitter, directing photons output from an exotic photon source to the first beam splitter, directing photons output from the second parametric downconverter to a second beam splitter, directing photons output from the first beam splitter to the second beam splitter, detecting photons output from the second beam splitter, deriving, from the detecting, a phase difference between the first set of photons and the second set of photons, and outputting the phase difference.

A method, apparatus, and system for improving the angular resolution of an image. A plurality of photon beams originating from a scene are received at a sensor system. Each of the plurality of photon beams is interfered with a corresponding source photon beam in a plurality of source photon beams to form a plurality of interference beams. Each of the plurality of source photon beams has a non-classical state. Fluctuations in a photon-number of the each of the plurality of source photon beams are reduced to within selected tolerances. An output signal is formed based on the plurality of interference beams. The output signal is configured for use in generating an image of the scene.

Systems and methods for digital communication utilizing entangled qubits are disclosed. The disclosed systems and methods exploit selective entanglement swapping to transfer an entangled state between sites. Each site includes pairs of qubits that are independently entangled with pairs of qubits at the other site. By selectively entangling the qubits within a pair at one site, the qubits of the corresponding pair at the other site also are selectively entangled. When the qubits are entangled, they are projected onto a particular entangled state type. Though no information may be transferred through selective entanglement of one qubit pair, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine whether a set of pairs of qubits are entangled by determining whether the distribution of pairs is a correlated or uncorrelated distribution (a probabilistic approach) and transform the distribution type to a classical bit of data.
