We propose a remarkably simple system of a continuous variable quantum key distribution using chaotic signals generated by a soliton pulse within a nonlinear micro-ring resonator system. By using the appropriate soliton input power and micro-ring parameters, continuous signals are generated spreading over the spectrum. Polarized photons are formed incorporating the polarization control unit into the micro-ring system, which allows different time slot entangled photons to be randomly formed. Two different frequency bands for up-down-link converters can be selected (filtered) and performed, which is available for the simultaneous up-down-link application in the telephone networks. Results obtained have shown that the application of such a system for continuous variable quantum cryptography via optical-wireless up-down-link converters within a single system is plausible.     

Quantum key distribution using the localized soliton pulses via a wavelength router in the optical network

We propose a new system of a continuous variable quantum key distribution via a wavelength router in the optical networks. A large bandwidth signal is generated by a soliton pulse propagating within the micro ring resonator, which is allowed to form the continuous wavelength with large tunable channel capacity. There are two forms of localized soliton pulses proposed. Firstly, the required information is transmitted via the localized temporal soliton pulse. Secondly, the continuous variable quantum key distribution is formed by using the localized spatial soliton pulse via a quantum router and networks, which is formed by using and optical add/drop multiplexer incorporating in the network. The localized soliton pulses are available for add/drop signals to/from the optical network, where the high security and capacity information can be performed.     

Entangled photon states generation and regeneration using a nonlinear fiber ring resonator

We propose a simple system of the entangled photon states generation and regeneration using a standard diode laser, a Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) and a fiber optic ring resonator (FORR). Light from the diode laser is launched into an MZI and circulated in the FOOR, without any optical pumping components included in the system. The nonlinear light pulses are generated by a Kerr nonlinear effects type, while the resonance peaks are formed by the four-wave mixing of light pulses in the FORR. The entangled photons can be performed by using the polarization control device, and then detected by the avalanche photo-detectors, where the entangled photon visibility is plotted and seen. Similarly, the entangled photon states can be easily formed by using the appropriated coupling ratios into a fiber coupler, then into a ring resonator, i.e. without an MZI. The use of the entangled photons generation based on a fiber optic scheme for quantum teleportation, quantum key distribution via optical wireless link, and the system of the entangled photon states recovery by using a fiber ring resonator incorporating an erbium-doped fiber (EDF) have been investigated and discussed. The feasibility of dense coding using multi-entangled photons generation based on the fiber optic scheme and the effect of the entangled state walk-off along the optical fiber are also discussed, respectively.     

A novel multi-optical/quantum memory and encoding system using multi-photon generation

We propose a novel system of an optical/quantum memory generation, which can be used for multi-optical/quantum memory applications. The large bandwidth of a single pulse is generated using a soliton pulse in a Kerr-type nonlinear medium, i.e. a nonlinear waveguide. The generation of the localized temporal and spatial soliton pulses within the nano-waveguide is achieved. The free spectrum range enhancement of the generated multi-soliton signals can be formed and achieved using the nano-waveguide incorporating the Mach Zhender Interferometer (MZI). The different light path of the soliton pulses is introduced by the delayed lines of the interferometer. This improves the wavelength free spectrum range, where the different entangled photon pairs can also obtained. Furthermore, the generated photons can be filtered and stored within a system, where the storage of single or multi-photons using the proposed system can be achieved, which in turn can be used for multi-optical/quantum memory applications.

Generalized quantum key distribution via micro ring resonator for mobile telephone networks

We propose a novel system of quantum key generation via a micro ring resonator for mobile telephone network use, where the conversation messages can be secured by using a quantum code/decode (CODEC) technique incorporated in the public networks. The system consists of a set of micro ring devices incorporating a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). The entangled photon with different time slots is generated via each micro ring device, which is connected to an MZI. In each micro ring device, the time delay and the Kerr nonlinearity effect are exploited for the qubit (quantum key) generation. At present, fabrication technology has been promising in that the quantum key can be implemented within the mobile telephone hand set and networks, and it has also shown the feasibility of using as perfect security telephone networks.     

Multi-soliton generation with extremely narrow free spectrum range for multiplexed sensors via optical network

We propose a new system of multiplexer sensors using the localized soliton pulse generated by a microring resonator in optical networks. A large bandwidth signal is generated by a soliton pulse propagating within the microring resonator, which is allowed to form the multiplexed sensors. Two forms of soliton pulses are generated and localized, i.e. temporal and spatial solitons. The required soliton pulses with specified wavelengths can be localized and formed the sensing. This is formed by using an optical add/drop multiplexer incorporating in the optical network, where the localized soliton pulses are available for add/drop signals to/from the optical network. The change in physical parameter measured the change in soliton wavelength, which formed the measurement.     

Cryptographic robustness of a quantum cryptography system using phase-time coding

A cryptographic analysis is presented of a new quantum key distribution protocol using phase-time coding. An upper bound is obtained for the error rate that guarantees secure key distribution. It is shown that the maximum tolerable error rate for this protocol depends on the counting rate in the control time slot. When no counts are detected in the control time slot, the protocol guarantees secure key distribution if the bit error rate in the sifted key does not exceed 50%. This protocol partially discriminates between errors due to system defects (e.g., imbalance of a fiber-optic interferometer) and eavesdropping. In the absence of eavesdropping, the counts detected in the control time slot are not caused by interferometer imbalance, which reduces the requirements for interferometer stability.     

Proposal of the nano-sensing device and system using a nano-waveguide transducer for distributed sensors

We propose a new concept of a distributed sensing system using a nano-waveguide and an array waveguide. The small change in physical quantity affects the change in device parameters such as refractive index or length, which is relatively absorbed and observed by the resonant wavelength. In principle, the dense wavelength separation is generated by using a soliton pulse propagating within a ring resonator system, whereas a resonant signal can be stored within the nano-waveguide, i.e. a transducer, which is formed by the sensing device. Induced change in the resonant signal at each wavelength occurs, and can be detected by using the optical spectrum analyzer. Such a proposed device is suitable to perform the measurements in the nano-scale regime such as force, stress and temperature. Moreover, the distributed or multiplexed sensing applications are also available using the nano-waveguide sensing device incorporating the array waveguide, which is discussed in details. Quantum measurement using the same system is also described.

Optical wireless quantum communication coding system using decimal convertor

In this study, a system of microring resonators and an add/drop filter are used to generate a large bandwidth signal as a localized multi wavelength, applicable for continuous dense coding and continuous variable encoding generation. This technique uses the Kerr nonlinear type of light in the MRR to generate multi wavelength of bright and dark soliton for quantum network cryptography. Afterwards, generated bright and dark optical pulses are converted into digital logic quantum codes using a decimal convertor system in which transmission of secured information are performed via an optical wireless communication system. Results show that ranges of multi bright and dark soliton wavelengths from 1.45 to $1.65\,\upmu \mathrm{m}$ with central wavelength of $1.55\,\upmu \mathrm{m}$ could be simulated, where the FWHM and FSR of 50 and 1,440 pm are obtained, respectively.

Qubit networks with long-range interactions inspired by the Hebb rule can be used as quantum associative memories. Starting from a uniform superposition, the unitary evolution generated by these interactions drives the network through a quantum phase transition at a critical computation time, after which ferromagnetic order guarantees that a measurement retrieves the stored pattern. The maximum memory capacity of these qubit networks is reached at a memory density alpha=p/n=1.     

Quantum key distribution via fiber optic, fidelity and error corrections

We propose an interesting scheme on photon states generation using a fiber optic Mach Zehnder interferometer incorporating a fiber optic ring resonator without any optical pumping parts including in the system, which is available for long-distance link. In principle, the state of a quantum bit, it is known, unknown, or entangled to other systems. The desired quantum states are generated and transmitted in the link via a fiber optic. The transmission quality in terms of quantum fidelity is analyzed, where a high fidelity to the noiseless quantum channel is achieved by adding an ancillary photon after the signal photon within the correlation time of the fiber noise and by performing the quantum parity checking method. The error correction is also analyzed. For simplicity, feature and robustness against path-length mismatches among the nodes make our scheme suitable for multi-user quantum communication networks.     

High-Speed Quantum Transducer with a Single-Photon Emitter in a 2D Resonator

Quantum transducers can transfer quantum information between different systems. Microwave–optical photon conversion is important for future quantum networks to interconnect remote superconducting quantum computers with optical fibers. Here, a high-speed quantum transducer based on a single-photon emitter in an atomically thin membrane resonator, that can couple single microwave photons to single optical photons, is proposed. The 2D resonator is a freestanding van der Waals heterostructure (which may consist of hexagonal boron nitride, graphene, or other 2D materials) that hosts a quantum emitter. The mechanical vibration (phonon) of the 2D resonator interacts with optical photons by shifting the optical transition frequency of the single-photon emitter with strain or the Stark effect. The mechanical vibration couples to microwave photons by shifting the resonant frequency of an LC circuit that includes the membrane. Thanks to the small mass of the 2D resonator, both the single-photon optomechanical coupling strength and the electromechanical coupling strength can reach the strong coupling regime. This provides a way for high-speed quantum state transfer between a microwave photon, a phonon, and an optical photon.     

Proposed solar energy conversion and storage system using a nano-ring in an array waveguide

We propose the new solar energy conversion and storage system using the array waveguide. It can be used to generate and store solar energy within the nano-array waveguide system. The system consists of micro- and nano-ring resonators incorporating a Mach Zhender Interferometer (MZI) that can be integrated into a single system. The large bandwidth signal, i.e. white light, is generated using a soliton pulse in a Kerr-type nonlinear medium propagating within a micro-ring resonator system. The control light concept is applied using a nano-waveguide incorporating an MZI, whereas the incoherent light is filtered being coherence, which is amplified and stored within the system. The white light can be re-generated using the stored coherent light pulse. Furthermore, the combination of signals is formed by the array waveguide, which is allowed to generate the huge amount of solar energy output.
