53 results about "Quasioptics" patented technology

Quasioptics concerns the propagation of electromagnetic radiation when the size of the wavelength is comparable to the size of the optical components (e.g. lenses, mirrors, and apertures) and hence diffraction effects become significant. It commonly describes the propagation of Gaussian beams where the beam width is comparable to the wavelength. This is in contrast to geometrical optics, where the wavelength is small compared to the relevant length scales.

A multi-party semi-quantum secret size comparison method based on two-dimensional single-photon states

PendingCN122339693AThird partyAlgorithm
This invention discloses a method for comparing the size of multi-party semi-quantum secrets based on two-dimensional single-photon states. First, each participant shares a key and encrypts their own secret, maintaining the numerical relationship. A semi-honest quantum third party (STP) randomly prepares a two-dimensional single-photon sequence using a Z-based or X-based approach and distributes it to each participant. Each participant performs corresponding operations on each pair of adjacent photons according to the encrypted bit values ​​and sends the results back to the STP. The STP receives the returned photons and decodes them to obtain encrypted data strings. After security checks, the STP performs a bitwise XOR operation on each data string to determine the size relationship of the multi-party secrets. This invention uses experimentally easily prepared and manipulated two-dimensional single-photon states instead of high-dimensional or entangled states, requiring only standard optical devices, significantly reducing the implementation difficulty. By combining additive encryption with XOR comparison rules, it achieves size comparison while protecting privacy, solving the problems of difficult physical implementation and reduced security in existing methods. It has economical, efficient, and practical technical advantages.
