Abstract

The invention provides a bidirectional quantum time synchronization method based on frequency entangled light sources. Two entangled light sources with same wavelength are placed at a place A and a place B respectively, and signal lights generated by the entangled light sources pass through an optical fiber circulator, are transmitted in opposite directions through a same optical fiber, and are detected by detectors at the opposite places; idle lights generated by the entangled light sources are detected by a detector at a uniform place of the entangled light sources; a clock a at the place arecords the time (tij} and time (t2j} for photons emitted by the entangled light source at the place a to reach the detectors at two places, and a clock b at the place b records time (t3j} and time (t4j} for photons emitted by the entangled light source at the place b to reach the detectors at two places, wherein j is representative of jth photon; the (tij} and (t2j} are subjected to cross-correlation operation to obtain t2-t1; the (t3j} and (t4j} are subjected to cross-correlation operation to obtain t4-t3; the clock difference t0 between the clock a and the clock b is equal to half of the difference of (t2-t1) and (t4-t3). The bidirectional quantum time synchronization method based on the frequency entangled light sources is high in measurement precision, and an applied device is simplein structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of time and frequency, and in particular relates to a two-way quantum time synchronization method. Background technique [0002] Quantum time synchronization technology is a new time synchronization technology proposed at the beginning of this century. This technology utilizes quantum light pulse and quantum coincidence detection technology with frequency entanglement and photon number compression characteristics to make the existing time synchronization accuracy break through the limit of shot noise, and can improve time synchronization accuracy to sub-picosecond or even femtosecond level. In addition to greatly improving the accuracy, another advantage of quantum time synchronization technology is that it can combine quantum time synchronization protocol with quantum secure communication to realize quantum time synchronization protocol with security function. In addition, based on the frequency entangleme...
