OPTICAL QUANTUM LOGIC FOR USE IN LARGE OPERATIONAL SPACES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240012309 titled 'OPTICAL QUANTUM LOGIC FOR USE IN LARGE OPERATIONAL SPACES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for generating a photon with multiple dimensions. It involves encoding quantum information in multiple frequency bins and at least one time bin of a first photon. A frequency dependent time operation is then performed to entangle the frequency bins and time bins in the photon.
- The method generates a photon with quantum information encoded in multiple frequency and time bins.
- A frequency dependent time operation is performed to entangle the frequency and time bins in the photon.
Potential Applications:
- Quantum communication: The entangled photon can be used for secure communication and quantum key distribution.
- Quantum computing: The entangled photon can be used as a qubit for quantum computing operations.
- Quantum sensing: The entangled photon can be used for high-precision measurements and sensing applications.
Problems Solved:
- Overcoming limitations of traditional photon generation methods by generating a photon with multiple dimensions.
- Enabling the generation of entangled photons, which are crucial for various quantum technologies.
Benefits:
- Enhanced security: The entangled photon can be used for secure communication, as any attempt to intercept or measure the photon would disrupt its entanglement.
- Increased computational power: The entangled photon can be used as a qubit in quantum computing, enabling more powerful and efficient calculations.
- Improved precision: The entangled photon can be used for high-precision measurements and sensing, allowing for more accurate and sensitive detection.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method of generating a photon with multiple dimensions includes a step of generating a first photon encoded with quantum information in each of two or more frequency bins and at least one time bin. the method further includes performing a frequency dependent time operation to entangle (i.e. make non-separable) the frequency bins and the time bins in the photon.
