The quantum device comprises a transmission structure, wherein based on its geometrical arrangement, interference and quantum collapse, the transmission structure is designed such that quantum waves emitted by at least two bodies, for example, by thermal excitation, are passed preferentially to a subset of these bodies, without the need for a magnetic field to be applied.

Magnetic-field free, nonreciprocal, solid state quantum device using quantum wave collapse and interference

A quantum device includes a non-reciprocal transmission structure, wherein the transmission structure is designed such that for first waves traversing the transmission structure in a forward direction the phases of the first waves are at least partially conserved, and for second waves traversing the transmission structure in a backward direction, the phases of the second waves are at least partially replaced by random ones, such that the phase conservation is more pronounced in the forward direction than in the backward direction.

Non-reciprocal device comprising asymmetric phase transport of waves

A quantum device comprising a transmission structure, wherein based on quantum collapse, interference and selective absorption the transmission structure is designed such that quantum waves emitted by at least two bodies, for example, by thermal excitation, are passed preferentially to a subset of these bodies.

Nonreciprocal quantum device using quantum wave collapse, interference and selective absorption

A non-reciprocal quantum device that comprises a first terminal and a second terminal, a transmission structure connected between the first and second terminals and configured to transmit microscopic particles in at least a partially phase-coherent manner from the first terminal to the second terminal and possibly from the second terminal to the first terminal, wherein a time-reversal symmetry of the transmission of the particles is broken with respect to at least a portion of the transmission structure; wherein the time-reversal symmetry is broken in such a way that the transmission structure comprises a higher transmission probability for particles moving in a first direction from the first terminal to the second terminal than in a second direction from the second terminal to the first terminal.
