QUANTUM OPTICAL COMMUNICATION USING PHOTON TRANSMISSION FROM A VACUUM CHAMBER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18274669 titled 'QUANTUM OPTICAL COMMUNICATION USING PHOTON TRANSMISSION FROM A VACUUM CHAMBER
Simplified Explanation
An entangled photon is produced by a photon source at cryogenic temperature in a vacuum chamber and supplied to an optical communication fiber outside the vacuum chamber. Prior to generating the photon, ionized gas and/or gaseous radicals are supplied in a part of an optical path for the photon in a vacuum space between the photon source and the optical communication fiber. This counteracts loss of entangled photon yield at entry of the photon from the photon source into the vacuum space.
- Photon source produces entangled photon at cryogenic temperature
- Ionized gas and/or gaseous radicals supplied in optical path to counteract loss of entangled photon yield
- Vacuum space between photon source and optical communication fiber
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in:
- Quantum communication
- Quantum computing
- Quantum cryptography
Problems Solved
The technology helps solve:
- Loss of entangled photon yield
- Maintaining entanglement over long distances
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved efficiency in quantum communication
- Enhanced security in quantum cryptography
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be commercially apply in:
- Telecommunications industry
- Data security companies
Possible Prior Art
There is no known prior art for this specific technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does the cryogenic temperature affect the production of entangled photons?
The cryogenic temperature helps reduce thermal noise and stabilize the quantum state of the entangled photons, but the exact mechanism is not detailed in the abstract.
What specific types of ionized gas and gaseous radicals are used in the optical path?
The abstract mentions the use of ionized gas and/or gaseous radicals, but does not specify which types are utilized for this purpose.
