Abstract:
Methods of digital communication utilizing entangled qubits are disclosed. The communication 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, the disclosed methods 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 to transfer classical bits in a qubit-efficient approach.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A quantum signal detection system includes a signal source configured to emit a transmit signal towards a target, and a photon adder that is configured to add at least one photon to a return signal that reflects from the target to form a combined signal. The combined signal increases a signal to noise ratio of the return signal.

Abstract:
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.

A system may include a synthetic optical aperture configured to receive a plurality of received photon beams comprising a scene including an object. The system may also include an active optical interference system configured to interfere each of the plurality of received photon beams from the synthetic optical aperture with a corresponding source photon beam of a plurality of source photon beams. The active optical interference system may generate a plurality of enhanced interference beams. Each enhanced interference beam includes at least a predetermined gain. The system may further include a detector system configured to detect the plurality of enhanced interference beams and generate an electrical output signal for use in generating a reconstructed image of the object with improved resolution responsive to at least the predetermined gain of the enhanced interference beams.
