    Abstract: Quantum network devices, systems, and methods are provided to enable long-distance transmission of quantum bits (qubits) for applications such as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), entanglement distribution, and other quantum communication applications. Such systems and methods provide for separately storing first, second, third, and fourth photons, wherein the first and second photons and the third and fourth photons are respective first and second entangled photon pairs, triggering a synchronized retrieval of the stored first, second, third, and fourth photons such that the first photon is propagated to a first node, the second and third photons are propagated to a second node, and the fourth photon is propagated to a third node, and creating a new entangled pair comprising the first and fourth photons at the first and third nodes to transmit quantum information.

    Abstract: An entangled quantum state receiver includes an optical detector that generates an electrical signal having a signal characteristic in response to detection of a single photon. A first electrical circuit generates an electrical signal having a predetermined duration at an output when the signal characteristic is present. A clock generates a clock with a period, wherein the predetermined duration is greater than the period. A second electrical circuit generates and stores a state or a time in a memory location, where the state has a first state value when the electrical signal having the predetermined duration is present during a clock cycle and has a second state value when the electrical signal having the predetermined duration is not present during the clock cycle. A processor determines received entangled state information from the state value stored in the memory location or from time stored in the memory location.

    Abstract: A system comprises a plurality of voltage signal sources and a controller configured to control operation of the voltage signal sources to cause them to generate respective voltage signals characterized by respective frequencies. The plurality of voltage signal sources includes a first voltage signal source adjacent a second voltage signal source and a third voltage signal source adjacent to the second voltage signal source such that the second voltage signal source is physically disposed between the first voltage signal source and the third voltage signal source. The controller causes the first voltage signal source to generate a first voltage signal characterized by a first frequency, the second voltage signal source to generate a second voltage signal characterized by a second frequency, and the third voltage signal source to generate a third voltage signal characterized by a third frequency. The first and third frequencies are different from the second frequency.
