Samuel Nunez has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Quantum communications system having at least one waveplate to alter pulse polarization and associated methods
    Patent number: 11962689
    Abstract: A quantum communications system may include a transmitter node, a receiver node, and a quantum communications channel coupling the transmitter node and receiver node. The transmitter node may include a pulse transmitter, a pulse divider downstream from the pulse transmitter, and at least one first waveplate upstream from the pulse divider and configured to alter a polarization state of pulses travelling therethrough. The receiver node may include at least one second waveplate being a conjugate of the at least one first waveplate, a pulse recombiner upstream from the at least one second waveplate, and a pulse receiver downstream from the at least one second waveplate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 5, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2024
    Assignee: EAGLE TECHNOLOGY, LLC

  • Quantum communications system having pulses divided into time bins and associated methods
    Patent number: 11451308
    Abstract: A quantum communications system may include a transmitter node, a receiver node, and a quantum communications channel coupling the transmitter node and receiver node. The transmitter node may include a pulse transmitter and a pulse divider downstream therefrom. The pulse divider may be configured to divide each pulse having a plurality of X photons into a plurality of Y time bins with Y>X. The receiver node may include a pulse recombiner and a pulse receiver downstream from the pulse recombiner.
