Abstract: Systems and methods provide load sharing for maintaining a stable operation of a group of electrical power generators in different load sharing scenarios. Over an interconnect bus, a controller of a gas-turbine generator (GTG) receives an indication of power generated in a set of GTGs (including the GTG) that are part of a power network, and an indication of a status change of the power network. Based on the status change and the power generated, the controller of the GTG determines whether a change in power generated by the power network is to occur and a new power level to be generated by the GTG.

Abstract: A method and system for identifying entangled photons includes generating a plurality of sets of four entangled photons, wherein one pair of photons of each set are time correlated, thereby indicating that another pair of four entangled photons are entangled. Quantum metadata comprising a time window corresponding to the generated plurality of sets of four entangled photons is collected. A coincidence of one pair of photons of each of the plurality of the sets of four entangled photons is determined. A state value of at least one photon of the other pair of each of the number of the sets of four entangled photons is determined. Ordered lists of coincidences are compared to ordered lists of state values to determine entangled state information. Time window are compared to times corresponding to the ordered lists. Error conditions are generated if conditions are met.

Abstract: A line-field parallel swept optical coherence tomography (OCT) system optimized for high-resolution ophthalmic imaging and capable of broad industrial applications. The system employs a gain chip using gallium-aluminum-arsenide (GaAlAs) for light amplification within a specific “water window” wavelength range, suitable for deep tissue imaging. The design incorporates a hermetically sealed packaging with an optional thermoelectric cooler and utilizes a single angled facet (SAF) with high reflectivity and antireflective coatings to enhance laser performance. The optical path includes a collimating lens, a cat's eye focusing lens, and a bandpass filter adjustable via an angle control actuator for dynamic wavelength tuning. The system features a rotator-derotator mechanism utilizing Dove prisms or k-mirror devices, for example, for precise radial scanning. This allows for quick, accurate imaging, making it ideal for capturing high-resolution images of the retina and other surfaces.
