Methods and systems for measuring interferometric visibility of telescopic signals using resources having imperfect quantum entanglement are disclosed. The novel methodology employed by embodiments of the present invention takes into account the difficulty in creating entanglement between distance telescopes, and describes how to incorporate problems associated with distributing quantum entanglement into the measurement procedure. This allows the distance that two telescopes in an optical array are spaced apart to be increased while still interacting.

Method and system for measuring interferometric visibility of telescopic signals having imperfect quantum entanglement

Apparatus and methods of performing fast single-qubit quantum gates using ultrafast femtosecond frequency chirped laser pulses are disclosed. The use of chirped pulses removes the demanding restrictions of prior art approaches and allows for the construction of fast quantum gates that operate at speeds on the of order several picoseconds. The apparatus includes two synchronized lasers (pump and Stokes) used to manipulate a qubit wave function in a select manner. Each laser system generates a train of optical pulses. Pulse pickers choose pump and Stokes pulses, which propagate though respective pulse shapers that apply necessary time-dependent phases. To achieve complete overlap between the pulses in time domain, necessary adjustments can be made by using an additional time delay line, which can be located in any path or in both paths.

Fast quantum gates with ultrafast chirped pulses

Linear chirped pulses in a Raman excitation scheme provide selective excitation of only one target transition (single mode) in a molecule without disturbing any other transitions or molecules. Selectivity is guaranteed by the adiabaticity of the pulse excitation, which allows manipulation by only a resonant mode while leaving all of the other modes unperturbed. This in turn allows for enhanced imaging or spectroscopic analysis of a sample that contains one or more of the molecules.
