Techniques for coupling fields to exotic matter at a particular location to identify, or determine the current date/time at that location, are provided. Example techniques include capturing sensor data indicating a decay rate associated with a radioactive material at the location over a period of time; analyzing the sensor data indicating the decay rate associated with the radioactive material at the location over the period of time in order to identify a peak decay rate over the period of time and a point in time, over the period of time, at which the peak decay rate occurred; and determining one or more of: a current time at the particular location, a current date at the location, or an identification of the location, based on one or more of: the peak decay rate or the point in time over the period of time at which the peak decay rate occurred.

Systems and methods for coupling fields to exotic matter

An optical system uses a sample medium disposed within an optical cavity, receives an input beam that may be non-coherent or coherent, and produces an optical energy from the input beam, by creating birefringent-induced beam components each cavity traversal, forming a mixed quantum state beam for the input beam. The mixed quantum state beam exits the cavity, and the energy distribution of the exiting beam is analyzed over a range of tuned input beam frequencies to uniquely identify circularly birefringent the materials within the sample medium, e.g., amino acids, proteins, or other circular birefringent molecules, biological or otherwise.

Circular birefringence identification of materials

An optical array formed from unclad fibers that are affixed with a micro-coating of adhesive has been developed to allow for enhanced light collection translating into parallel streams of optical output. The system is designed to be used for applications requiring parallel output streams (e.g. random number generation for parallel computing architectures, observation of position information for optical sensing application, etc.). The system acts as a parallel, pixeled detector for a source where the individual pixels are simultaneously readout.

One-to-many optical fiber array structures and methods

An optical system uses a multi-layered birefringent structure that receives an input beam that may be non-coherent or coherent, and produces a randomization energy from the input beam, by creating birefringent induced beam subdivisions as the beam passes through each birefringent layer, where after the beam has passed through a threshold number of birefringent layers, a randomized energy distribution is created. That randomized energy distribution is read by a photodetector and converted into a random number by a randomization processing device.

An optical system uses a birefringent medium disposed within an optical cavity, receives an input beam that may be non-coherent or coherent, and produces a randomization energy from the input beam, by creating birefringent induced beam subdivisions each cavity traversal, where after a threshold number of beam traversals have occurred, a randomized energy distribution is created. That randomized energy distribution is read by a photodetector and converted into a random number by a randomization processing device.

Methods and systems for determining material composition of a test sample may be provided. The test sample may be placed in a magnetic region having a magnetic field. A light beam may be directed at the test sample in the magnetic region. A birefringence in the light beam that has passed through the test sample may be detected. The material composition of the test sample may be determined based on the detected birefringence in the light beam.
