    Abstract: Articles with at least one finished edge and methods and systems for forming the same are disclosed. A method of forming a glass article having at least one finished edge includes heating a substrate to a preparation temperature, the substrate having at least one unfinished edge, applying a laser to the at least one unfinished edge of the substrate, the laser causing a temperature of the at least one unfinished edge to increase from the preparation temperature to a finishing temperature, and reducing a power of the laser over a time period of at least about 10 seconds until the laser is deactivated, resulting in the glass article comprising the at least one finished edge.

    Abstract: A quantum key generation system including two photon detector units, two photon entanglement chains extending between the two photon detector units, and a plurality of multicore fiber links each including at least two non-uniform cores structurally configured to provide non-uniform photon propagation delay. Each photon entanglement chain includes at least one quantum repeater structurally configured to entangle a pair of photons and first and second terminating quantum memories optically coupled the quantum repeater using the multicore fiber links such that photons received by the first and the second terminating quantum memories are entangled with photons entangled by the quantum repeater. The first and second terminating quantum memories of each of the two photon entanglement chains form first and second cross-chain quantum repeaters, and the first and the second photon detector units are structurally configured to receive the measurable entangled particles generated by the first and second cross-chain quantum repeaters, respectively.
