Abstract: A communication system and method is described, including two or more transceivers at different locations, in which a region of the atmosphere at an altitude ranging from 150-350 KM is modified by applying an E-Field strength of 0.2 V/m to create a High-Frequency Ionized Lines/High-Frequency Plasma Lines (HFIL/HFPL) region. The HFIL/HFPL region provides a means for incoming RF transmission signals to be isotropically repeated and received by transceivers at other distant locations within line-of-sight of the HFIL/HFPL region. Incoming RF transmissions into the HFIL/HFPL region may use radio frequencies ranging from 100 MHz-20 GHz. The system described offers a means for users to transmit data from one over-the-horizon location to another at distances up to 4800 km without wires or physical satellites.

A boundary region is formed within the film and separates the first superconducting region from the second superconducting region. A voltage source is connected to the first superconducting region and the second superconducting region. The boundary region emits electromagnetic radiation responsive to an applied voltage from the voltage source to one of the first superconducting region and the second superconducting region. A current flows from the first superconducting region to the second superconducting region, or vice versa, responsive to the applied voltage.

Abstract: Methods for compiling single-qubit quantum gates into braid representations for non-Abelian quasiparticles described by the Fibonacci anyon model are based on a probabilistically polynomial algorithm that, given a single-qubit unitary gate and a desired target precision, outputs a braid pattern that approximates the unitary to desired precision and has a length that is asymptotically optimal (for a circuit with such property). Single-qubit unitaries that can be implemented exactly by a Fibonacci anyon braid pattern are classified, and associated braid patterns are obtained using an iterative procedure. Target unitary gates that are not exactly representable as braid patterns are first approximated to a desired precision by a unitary that is exactly representable, then a braid pattern associated with the latter is obtained.
