About this technology
Overview
NASA’s new source array may help revolutionize quantum communication by addressing a fundamental challenge: the unwanted production of multiple entangled photon pairs that introduce noise and degrade transmission. This innovative quantum entanglement source array generates single pairs of entangled photons at a very high rate while inhibiting the production of multiple pairs. By eliminating excess photon pairs, the new source array significantly reduces noise in quantum systems, increasing the successful qubit transmission rate by a factor of 10 to 100. This breakthrough paves the way for more efficient and reliable quantum networks, supporting secure communication, sensor arrays, and quantum computer networks. As the quantum technology sector rapidly expands, the new source array offers a crucial advantage for companies looking to lead in quantum communications , with potential applications in cybersecurity, finance, and advanced computing. By addressing a key limitation in current photon sources, the source array positions itself as a cornerstone for the future of quantum information transmission. This NASA Technology is available for your company to license and develop into a commercial product. NASA does not manufacture products for commercial sale.
