Abstract: A method for transmitting time information and quantum states on an optical medium is disclosed. The method includes transmitting information comprising a timing information and quantum states over a single wavelength on an optical medium. The method also includes receiving each transmitted information sequentially in the corresponding plurality of time slots at a receiver. The method also includes comparing each timing information received in the corresponding plurality of timeslots with timing information of a preceding hold over time slot of the plurality of time slots. The method also includes determining a time drift encountered at the receiver based on a compared result. The method also includes synchronising phase and frequency of the plurality of transmitted packets of the information based on minimization of determined time drift.
