  • Sensor systems and methods using entangled quantum particles
    Patent number: 7767976
    Abstract: An entangled quantum generator generates a signal including a plurality of entangled quanta. The wavelength of the signal is the sum of the wavelengths of the entangled quanta. A signal processor determines a characteristic of the target based on information derived from at least some of the entangled quanta in the return signal. The frequency of the signal is selected to propagate the signal through a medium and the frequencies of the entangled quanta are selected to provide sufficient data in the return signal to resolve the characteristic of the target.
