  • Patent number: 10432320
    Abstract: A process for generating an entangled state of a plurality of particles includes: providing the plurality of particles, the plurality of particles interacting via long range interactions; producing a first entangled state in a first particle; entangling the first particle with a second particle to form a second entangled state, wherein particles that are not in the second entangled state are remaining particles; and proceeding, starting with the second entangled state, to propagate entanglement in a logarithmic progression through the remaining particles in a recursive manner, to produce an intermediate entangled state, such that the intermediate entangled state acts as an initial entangled state for a next iteration, until a final entangled state is formed to generate the entangled state of the particles.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8761152
    Abstract: A computer readable medium comprising computer readable code for data transfer. The computer readable code, when executed, performs a method. The method includes receiving, at a first Axon, an ARP request from a source host directed to a target host. The method also includes obtaining a first route from the first Axon to the second Axon, and generating a target identification corresponding to the target host. The method further includes sending an Axon-ARP request to the second Axon using the first route, and receiving an Axon-ARP reply from the second Axon, where the Axon-ARP reply includes a second route. The method further includes storing the first route in storage space on the first Axon, where the storage space is indexed by the target identification, and sending an ARP reply to the first host where the source host is configured to send a packet to the target host.
