  • Quantum repeater
    Patent number: 8135276
    Abstract: A quantum repeater includes a transmitter portion including a source, a set of matter systems, and an optical system. The source produces a probe pulse in a probe state having components with different photon numbers, and each matter system has at least one state that interacts with photons in the probe pulse to introduce a change in a phase space location of the probe state. The optical system can direct the probe pulse for interaction with one of the matter systems and direct light from the matter system for transmission on a first channel.
    Type: Grant
