Practical Approach to Extending Baselines of Telescopes using Continuous-Variable Quantum Information

Bran Purvis, Randy Lafler, R. Nicholas Lanning

Interferometric telescopes are instrumental for the imaging of distant astronomical bodies, but optical loss heavily restricts how far telescopes in an array can be placed from one…

Two-Way Quantum Time Transfer: A Method for Daytime Space-Earth Links

Randy Lafler, Mark L. Eickhoff, Scott C. Newey +7

High-precision remote clock synchronization is crucial for many classical and quantum network applications. Evaluating options for space-Earth links, we find that traditional solut…

Quantum time transfer: a practical method for lossy and noisy channels

Randy Lafler, R. Nicholas Lanning

Timing requirements for long-range quantum networking are driven by the necessity of synchronizing the arrival of photons, from independent sources, for Bell-state measurements. Th…

An Optimal Polarization-Entanglement Source: Frequency-Converted SPDC with Degeneracy, Indistinguishability, and Ultra-High Purity Configurable Over a Large Spectral Range

Randy Lafler, R. Nicholas Lanning

Modeling and simulations of entanglement-based quantum-networking protocols commonly assume perfect entangled states. Some investigations have been performed which show how imperfe…

Quantum Communication Over Atmospheric Channels: A Framework for Optimizing Wavelength and Filtering

R. Nicholas Lanning, Mark A. Harris, Denis W. Oesch +2

Despite quantum networking concepts, designs, and hardware becoming increasingly mature, there is no consensus on the optimal wavelength for free-space systems. We present an in-de…

Adaptive-optics-enabled quantum communication: A technique for daytime space-to-Earth links

Mark T. Gruneisen, Mark L. Eickhoff, Scott C. Newey +10

Previous demonstrations of free-space quantum communication in daylight have been touted as significant for the development of global-scale quantum networks. Until now, no one has…
