A Survey and Assessment of Architectures for Optical Very Long Baseline Interferometry

Abstract

Motivated by the recent interest and publications in the quantum arena concerning possible improvements to Optical Very Long Baseline Interferometry (OVLBI), we have undertaken a survey and comparative analysis of a number of possible OVLBI architectures, both classical and quantum enabled. We assess here the feasibility and potential performance of them all, discussing a number of real-world considerations that must be taken into account. We also propose several technology-development paths that might lead to improved OVLBI performance.
