Quantum Interferometer Based on Multiphoton Entanglement for Enhanced Detection-Module

Abstract

A theoretical architecture for a very wideband, highly sensitive radio frequency (RF) detector is being created. Rydberg atoms combined with quantum interferometry based on linear combinations of M and N states form the basis of this new detector. Closed form expressions have been derived showing the effectiveness of this procedure. Adaptive optics techniques were developed offering significant enhancements. Entanglement greatly reduces the optical frequency phase error and the number of photons required while maximizing visibility. This will ultimately yield a highly sensitive very wideband RF detector. Numerical results show the effectiveness of these combined approaches.
