    Abstract: A glare reduction device for a sun visor in a motor vehicle passenger compartment includes a sun visor with rotational and removable supports. The device features deployable right-side, bottom, and left-side glare shields, each made of glare-reducing material. A track system within the sun visor, driven by a bi-directional motor and gear reduction system, facilitates smooth deployment and retraction of the glare shields. The device is controlled by a code entry pad and an activation pushbutton located on the steering wheel. A main controller processes inputs and adjusts the glare shields dynamically based on real-time light conditions. An overcurrent protective device and a power source ensure safe operation. This device improves driving safety and visibility by reducing glare from various angles within the vehicle.

    Abstract: A Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is provided to receive a coherent input photon in an initial pointer state along an emission direction for producing a continuous variable “faux qubit” in a magic state. The MZI apparatus includes first and second ports, first and second beam-splitters, first and second mirrors, and a modular interaction operator. The emitter produces an input coherent photon in an initial pointer state along an emission direction. The first and second ports are respectively disposed parallel and perpendicular to the emission direction. The first port has a detector. The first beam-splitter is disposed collinearly with the emission direction. The second beam-splitter is disposed between the first and second ports in parallel to and offset from the emission direction. The input photon reflects from the mirrors. Each beam-splitter either passes through or else reflects the input photon.
    The first mirror is disposed from the first and second beam-splitters respectively perpendicular and parallel to the emission direction. The second mirror is disposed from the first and second beam-splitters respectively collinearly with and perpendicular to the emission direction. The modular interaction operator is disposed between the first mirror and the second beam-splitter for measuring interaction therebetween to thereby generate a post-selected magic state photon. Further embodiments include an actuator that translates the first mirror diagonally to and from the beam-splitters to set coupling strength. Additional embodiments enable a phase angle shift between the first beam-splitter and the first mirror.

    Abstract: A method is provided for determining a thickness L of a chiral slab that refracts incident linearly polarized light into right (+) and left (−) circularly polarized beams. The method includes disposing the slab in an achiral medium, determining values of translation coefficients γ±, determining values for refraction angle differences (θ+−θ−), selecting pre- and post selection states |ψi and |ψj, projecting an emitted light beam through said achiral medium into the chiral slab a small established angle of incidence θ0, varying slab egress phase angles β±, determining said pointer mean value x, calculating weak value Aw, and calculating the thickness as L = 〈 x 〉 Re ⁢ ⁢ A w . The achiral medium has an established index of refraction n0. The translation coefficients γ± establish refraction translation differences (γ+−γ−). The pre-selection state |ψi establishes pre-selection alignment angle to satisfy Φ=π/4. The post-selection state |ψj establishes post-selection alignment angle to satisfy χ=Φ−ε and 0 0 or else a minimum for (γ+−γ−)

    Abstract: A quantum dynamical non-locality device is provided for establishing a photon traveling along a path in a binary state. The device includes twin Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), a shutter and a detector. The twin MZI includes first and second right-isosceles triangle prisms, corresponding first and second trombone mirrors, and corresponding first and second spacers. The prisms join at a beam-splitter interface. The mirrors reflect the photon by an offset substantially perpendicular to photon's travel direction. The spacers are respectively disposed between their respective prisms and mirrors to produce corresponding spatial gaps. The path through the prisms includes traversing spacers and gaps. The detector detects a quantum state of the photon after passing the prisms and the mirrors. The shutter switches to one of disposed within and removed therefrom the first gap. The shutter shifts said quantum state of the photon.
