The application provides a terminal
quantum time synchronization network method and
system, comprising: a center node uses an integrated microcavity
optical frequency comb as an entanglement source to obtain a plurality of pairs of
signal light and idle light, which are used for
time synchronization of each node; separated
signal light reaches a terminal node after transmission through an
optical fiber link; the terminal node has a probability of absorbing or reflecting the
signal light, so that the
signal light reenters the center node; the idle light has a probability of generating sum
frequency effect with the reflected
signal light in a sum frequency module; a computer of the center node dynamically adjusts the
clock difference settlement according to the sum frequency signal, so that the separated
signal light and the idle light experience the same
propagation time when being transmitted in the
optical fiber, and
clock difference settlement is realized. The application realizes
time synchronization of multiple terminals at the same time;
clock difference between two places is detected by using sum
frequency effect, which is performed in an optical domain, and time precision is high, which is
femtosecond order; the integrated microcavity
optical frequency comb is used as the entanglement source, a large number of entanglement pairs can be provided at the same time, and the network scale is convenient to expand and the topology is flexible.
