Abstract

The present invention provides a method for exploration using the quantum entanglement effect. The method utilizes the quantum entanglement effect to obtain several pairs of entangled quanta. The entangled quanta are then split into two parts using a polarization beam splitter. One part is emitted underground through a transmitter and a reflection control device, while the other part enters an entangled quantum receiver. The quanta emitted underground interact with various metal minerals, and the entangled quantum receiver changes the rotation direction of the entangled quantum. Due to the quantum entanglement effect, the rotation direction of the above-ground quanta is changed. Upon detecting a large amount of similar quantum information underground, the rotation direction of the entangled quantum in the underground state undergoes a specific change. An analyzer compares the change in the state information after the change with the state information emitted by the transmitter, analyzes the change, and compares the data to obtain the mineral or rock content and type at a certain depth underground. This method can be used for underground geological exploration and prospecting, is extremely convenient, and is many times more efficient than conventional detection.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of quantum exploration, and specifically is a method for utilizing a quantum emitter to generate entangled quantum pairs and perform exploration through the quantum entanglement effect. Background Art

[0002] In the field of exploration, the traditional exploration method is to use a drilling rig to drill and sample the area to be explored, then place the samples according to the depth of the soil layer, bring them back to the laboratory for analysis and testing, and finally draw up an exploration report based on the test results.

[0003] The survey utilizes a variety of surveying and testing methods to obtain first-hand geotechnical engineering information, primarily engineering mapping, full-hole core drilling, standard penetration tests, and cone penetration tests. Internal testing includes testing for conventional physical and mechanical geotechnical parameters, investigating the distribution of underground rock and soil layers. Geological surveys can determine the type, depth, distribution, and engineering properties of rock and soil layers within the survey area, analyze and evaluate the stability, uniformity, and bearing capacity of the foundation, and assess the foundation based on the survey results. They can also identify buried river channels, ditches, tombs, air-raid shelters, boulders, existing building foundations, pipelines, and pools that could pose a threat to the project. For pile foundations, adverse geological conditions, the distribution of liquefiable soil layers and special rocks, and their degree of damage to the pile foundation, can be identified. Preventive measures can be recommended, the feasibility of pile construction can be evaluated, and pile construction conditions and their environmental impact can be demonstrated. Mineral resource surveys can also determine the distribution of mineral resources within a specific area.

[0004] Traditional survey methods have the following problems: (1) Long sampling cycle: In the case of a relatively hard geological environment, the pile driving speed is slow and it takes a long time to obtain samples. (2) High uncertainty of results: Due to the unclear structure of the underground soil layer, the sampling results are sometimes not representative and multiple sampling is required. Although exploration holes are arranged, they cannot cover the entire area and there is always a situation where the stratigraphic data is incomplete. (3) Large damage to the surface: In order to obtain higher sampling accuracy, it is often accompanied by a large number of sampling points, which means that a large number of piles need to be driven on the same surface, causing great damage to the original surface of the area. (4) The survey is difficult to implement: When the surface conditions are poor, the sampling process becomes difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art and provide a method for exploration using the quantum entanglement effect. The method uses the quantum entanglement effect to generate entangled quantum pairs, and obtains information about underground minerals through changes in quantum states. The detection is convenient and the cycle is short.

[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, a method for exploration using quantum entanglement effect is provided, characterized in that the exploration method is used for geological exploration or mineral exploration and specifically comprises the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: The transmitter uses the quantum entanglement effect to generate several pairs of entangled quantum particles using polarized light and transmits them to the polarization beam splitter;

[0008] Step 2: Use a polarization beam splitter to separate several pairs of entangled quanta. One beam of entangled quanta is transmitted to transmitter A, and the other beam of entangled quanta is transmitted to transmitter B. The quanta transmitted to transmitter A and transmitter B are entangled.

[0009] Step 3: Transmitter A transmits the quantum to an entangled quantum receiving device, and transmitter B transmits the quantum via a reflector into an underground borehole used for geological exploration or prospecting; the entangled quantum receiving device includes a single-photon detector and a diamond nitrogen-vacancy color center system control device;

[0010] Step 4: The single-photon detector receives the quantum emitted by the transmitting device A, and changes the control parameters of the controllable part of the Hami shield inside the receiving device through the diamond nitrogen-vacancy color center system to change the rotation direction of the entangled quantum; according to the quantum entanglement effect, after the rotation direction of the above-ground quantum is changed, the underground entangled quantum will be induced after detecting a large amount of similar quantum information underground, and the rotation direction will undergo a specific change, and the state information of the quantum will be recorded. The state information of the underground quantum collected by the single-photon detector is fed back to the analyzer through an electrical signal. The analyzer receives the state information of the underground quantum, compares the information with the quantum state information when it was emitted by the transmitting device A, and obtains the change of the quantum, and compares the change of the quantum state with the change of the quantum state in the database to determine the content and type of underground rock or mineral; the state information of the quantum includes the rotation angle and duration.

[0011] A further technical solution of the present invention is as follows: the transmitter in step one includes a transmitting gun and a BBO nonlinear optical crystal; after receiving high-energy photons, the BBO nonlinear optical crystal releases a pair of entangled quanta with opposite polarization directions; the multiple pairs of entangled quanta emitted by the transmitter contain multiple pairs of mineral and rock information.

[0012] A further technical solution of the present invention is as follows: in step 2, the polarization directions of the several pairs of entangled quanta generated by the transmitter are processed by a polarization beam splitter, two different BBO nonlinear optical crystals are superimposed, and the high-energy light beam generated by the transmitter is passed through the crystal. The obtained photons are simultaneously in a superposition state of horizontal polarization and vertical polarization. The two beams of photons are then emitted to transmitter A and transmitter B respectively. The photons of transmitter A and transmitter B are in an entangled state, and their Bell entangled states can be expressed as follows:

[0013]

[0014]

[0015] A further technical solution of the present invention is as follows: in step three, the transmitting device B emits the quantum input by the polarization beam splitter and adjusts the emission angle through a reflector, and the angle is controlled between 0 and 90 degrees to adjust the survey position; the transmitting device A emits the quantum to the single-photon detector, and the quantum emitted underground by the transmitting device B through the reflector is entangled with the quantum emitted by the transmitting device B, and has a superposition state of horizontal polarization and vertical polarization.

[0016] A further technical solution of the present invention: the database in step 4 is formed before geological or mineral exploration, wherein the mineral exploration database contains mineral composition, mineral element content and mineral porosity; the geological exploration database includes the types and physical properties of rocks and soils; the database specifically transmits entangled quantum states that have both horizontally polarized and vertically polarized superposition states, and the entangled quantum already contains mineral information or rock and soil information, to a mineral sample or rock and soil sample prepared in the laboratory. The quantum will react with the mineral sample or rock and soil sample, and its rotation angle and duration will change. The change in the rotation direction and duration of the entangled quantum after reacting with different minerals or rocks and soils is recorded, and a one-to-one correspondence is made between different minerals or rocks and soils and the change in the rotation direction and duration of the quantum, and a database input analyzer is established.

[0017] A further technical solution of the present invention: The Hamiltonian in step 4 can be expressed as:

[0018]

[0019] The drift Hamiltonian Acting on Hilbert space, it describes the uncontrolled evolution, treating it as independent of time; The control Hamiltonian is represented by l, the label of the external field is controlled, and the control strategy ε for the external field amplitude is l (t): = {ε l (t)} guide to change the rotation direction of the entangled quantum.

[0020] A further technical solution of the present invention: in the step four, the content of minerals or rocks is determined based on the duration of the signal. If the duration is long, the mineral or rock content is high, and if the duration is short, the mineral or rock content is low. The type of mineral or rock is determined based on whether the quantum produces regular rotation. If symmetrical rotation is produced, it indicates that there are the same type of minerals or rocks, and the type of mineral or rock can be determined according to the corresponding database.

[0021] A preferred technical solution of the present invention: the minerals include copper, aluminum, tungsten, antimony, tin, rare earth, tantalum, niobium, and gold; and may also include other known minerals.

[0022] A preferred technical solution of the present invention: the rock and soil includes miscellaneous fill, plain fill, crushed stone soil, silty clay, silty clay, sandy clay, strongly weathered granite, moderately weathered granite, and completely weathered phyllite; it may also include other known rocks or soils.

[0023] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0024] (1) The present invention uses quantum injection to conduct geological surveys or prospecting, and only requires the construction of a prospecting well, without causing significant damage to the surface structure.

[0025] (2) The survey process is simple. Traditional survey methods require the use of a pile driver for sampling, but this application does not require sampling. It only requires analyzing the quantum state information.

[0026] (3) The survey time is short. Traditional survey equipment needs to take samples and analyze the samples, which generally takes a long time. Quantum survey only needs to analyze the data from the single-photon detector, so the survey cycle is short.

[0027] (4) High safety performance. The traditional survey process is cumbersome. Drilling and sampling not only takes time but also brings many dangerous factors. In particular, buried drills and collapsed holes often occur during the sampling process, which poses a high safety hazard. The method of the present invention can greatly improve safety in construction without sampling. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the use of quantum entanglement to calculate and survey depth in the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following description of exemplary embodiments of the present application is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present application to facilitate understanding. These details should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0031] The embodiment provides a method for exploration using the quantum entanglement effect, specifically for mineral exploration, comprising the following steps:

[0032] Step 1: The transmitter uses the quantum entanglement effect to generate several pairs of entangled quantum devices using polarized light and transmits them to the polarization beam splitter; the transmitter includes a transmitting gun and a BBO nonlinear optical crystal; after receiving high-energy photons, the BBO nonlinear optical crystal releases a pair of entangled quantum with opposite polarization directions; the several pairs of entangled quantum emitted by the transmitter contain information about multiple pairs of minerals.

[0033] Step 2: The polarization beam splitter processes the polarization directions of several pairs of entangled quanta generated by the transmitter. Two different BBO nonlinear optical crystals are superimposed, and the high-energy light beam generated by the transmitter passes through the crystal. The obtained photons are in a superposition state of horizontal polarization and vertical polarization at the same time. The two beams of photons are then transmitted to transmitter A and transmitter B respectively. The photons transmitted to transmitter A and transmitter B are entangled, and their Bell entangled states can be expressed as:

[0034]

[0035]

[0036] Step 3: The transmitting device B transmits the quantum input from the polarization beam splitter and transmits the entangled quantum into the underground drilling well for prospecting through the reflector. The angle α of the reflector is controlled at 0-90° to transmit the entangled quantum to the detection position in the prospecting drilling well, such as Figure 2 As shown, the distance between the prospecting borehole wall and the reflector's reflection point is L, and the detection depth H is: H = L·tan(π-2α). When the reflector's angle α is close to 45°, the detection of minerals near the bottom of the well is nearly complete. Transmitter A emits a quantum to the single-photon detector. The quantum emitted underground by transmitter B through the reflector is entangled with the quantum emitted by transmitter B, exhibiting a superposition of horizontal and vertical polarizations.

[0037] Step 4: The single-photon detector receives the quantum emitted by the transmitting device A, and changes the rotation direction of the entangled quantum by changing the control parameters of the controllable part of the Hamiltonian inside the receiving device; the Hamiltonian can be expressed as:

[0038]

[0039] The drift Hamiltonian Acting on Hilbert space, it describes the uncontrolled evolution, treating it as independent of time; The control Hamiltonian is represented by l, the label of the external field is controlled, and the control strategy ε for the external field amplitude is l (t): = {ε l (t)} guide to change the rotation direction of the entangled quantum.

[0040] Due to the quantum entanglement effect, after the rotation direction of the aboveground quantum is changed, the entangled quantum in the underground state, after detecting a large amount of similar quantum information underground, will produce an induction, and the aboveground quantum will rotate a specific angle based on its original angle. The horizontal rotation angle corresponds to the mineral type. The quantum state information is recorded. The state information of the underground quantum collected by the single-photon detector is fed back to the analyzer via an electrical signal. The analyzer receives the underground quantum state information and compares it with the quantum state information when it was emitted by transmitter A to determine the quantum change. The analyzer then compares this quantum state change with the quantum state changes in the database to determine the underground mineral content and type. The mineral content is determined by the duration of the signal: a long duration indicates a high mineral content, while a short duration indicates a low mineral content. The mineral type is determined by whether the quantum rotates regularly; symmetrical rotation indicates the presence of the same mineral type. The quantum state information includes the rotation angle and duration. The database is formed before mineral exploration and includes mineral composition, mineral element content and mineral porosity. Specifically, an entangled quantum with both horizontal and vertical polarization superposition states, which already contains mineral information, is emitted to a metal mineral resource prepared in the laboratory. The quantum will react with the metal mineral, and its rotation angle and duration will change. The changes in the rotation direction and duration of the entangled quantum after reacting with different metal minerals are recorded, a one-to-one correspondence is made between different metal minerals and the changes in the rotation direction and duration of the quantum, and a database is established and input into the analyzer. In the embodiment, the minerals include copper, aluminum, tungsten, antimony, tin, rare earth, tantalum niobium, and gold; among them, a horizontal rotation of 5° based on the original angle indicates that the underground mineral is copper; a horizontal rotation of 10° based on the original angle indicates that the underground mineral is aluminum; a horizontal rotation of 15° based on the original angle indicates that the underground mineral is tungsten; a horizontal rotation of 20° based on the original angle indicates that the underground mineral is antimony; a horizontal rotation of 25° based on the original angle indicates that the underground mineral is tin; a horizontal rotation of 30° based on the original angle indicates that the underground mineral is rare earth; a horizontal rotation of 35° based on the original angle indicates that the underground mineral is tantalum niobium; and a horizontal rotation of 40° based on the original angle indicates that the underground mineral is gold.

[0041] The above specific embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions may be made based on design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure shall be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
