Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a quantum network system. The methods comprise, by a network node: generating optical clock pulses and photons using the optical clock pulses; generating a combined signal by combining the optical clock pulses with at least some of the photons such that a consistent temporal offset exits between the optical clock pulses and the first photons and/or a wave function of each photon at least partially overlaps an envelope of a respective one of the optical clock pulses; and transmitting the combined signal over a first quantum channel in which the optical clock pulses co-propagate with the photons.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a circuit. The methods comprise: using a first thermal responsive device to connect a first power source between first and second terminals to which an external load can be connected to the circuit; using a second thermal responsive device to cause a thermal unresponsive device to be in an open circuit condition; and performing operations responsive to a temperature of a surrounding environment exceeding a given temperature value. The operations include: disconnecting the first power source from at least the first terminal by transitioning the first thermal responsive device from a closed state to an open state; and connecting a second power source between the first and second terminals by transitioning the thermal unresponsive device from the open circuit condition to a closed circuit condition using the second thermal responsive device.

Abstract: A quantum communications system may include transmitter node, a receiver node, and a quantum communications channel coupling the transmitter node and receiver node. The transmitter node may be configured to co-propagate a first pulse for a quantum state and a second pulse to stabilize the quantum state through the quantum communications channel.

Abstract: An outer space deployable antenna may include a waveguide antenna feed section. A first plurality of wires and a first plurality of biased hinges may couple the first plurality of wires together to be self-biased to move between a collapsed stored configuration and an extended deployed configuration. A horn antenna section may be coupled to the waveguide antenna feed section and may include a second plurality of wires and a second plurality of biased hinges coupling the second plurality of wires together to be self-biased to move between the collapsed stored configuration and the extended deployed configuration. A flexible electrically conductive layer may cover the waveguide antenna feed section and the horn antenna section in at least the extended deployed configuration.

Abstract: Systems and methods for mitigating broadband and/or Intermodulation ("IM") interference. The methods comprise: monitoring performance of at least one demodulator performance metric of a communication device; detecting when the communication device is under or will be under an influence of IM interference based on a performance of the at least one demodulator performance metric; determining an improved level of gain to be applied to (i) a variable attenuator of the communication device or (ii) a variable gain low noise amplifier of the communication device; and selectively adjusting an amount of gain being applied by the variable attenuator or variable gain low noise amplifier based on the improved performance achieved with new level of attenuation.

Abstract: Disk antenna includes a plurality of conductive plates forming a stack aligned along a principal axis. The plates include a ground plane plate, a plurality of electrically active plates, and a drive plate disposed between the ground plane plate and the plurality of electrically active plates. A mast is configured to transition from a first condition in which the mast is compactly stowed, to a second condition in which the mast is deployed. Suspension members are configured to couple a radiating end of the mast to the plurality of electrically active plates. The plates are compactly stacked when the mast is in the first condition, and urged to distributed locations along the length of the mast in the second condition.

Abstract: Systems and methods for making and/or using a hybrid laminate composite tube structure. The methods comprise: wrapping a plurality of lamina layers around a male cylindrical tool (e.g., mandrel); treating the lamina layers with heat/pressure to form the hybrid laminate composite tube structure; and assembling a structure by adhesively bonding the hybrid laminate composite tube structure to a metallic fitting. The lamina layers comprise: at least one first lamina layer formed of a first material having a first CTE; and at least one second lamina layer formed of a second material different from the first material and having a second CTE different than the first CTE. The hybrid laminate composite tube structure has at least one property that is different in the axial direction than the hoop direction. An axial CTE of the hybrid laminate composite tube structure is tailored to provide a net zero CTE for the assembled structure.
