Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If quantum teleportation imaging is implemented using conventional Bell state measurement, then image data transfer security is improved, but device complexity and resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from conventional 2x2 Bell state measurement to high-dimensional dxd Bell state measurement, where d represents the dimensionality of the quantum states. This dimensional expansion enables more information to be encoded and measured simultaneously, improving security while the integrated photonic circuit implementation keeps the physical device complexity manageable through compact design
2Quantity of substance
If high-dimensional Bell state measurement is performed, then resource requirements are reduced, but measurement precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple quantum measurement functions into a single integrated photonic circuit that performs high-dimensional Bell state measurement. By combining the measurement of multiple entangled photon pairs and their correlations within one unified device, the system reduces the number of separate quantum resources needed while maintaining the required measurement precision through the interconnected architecture of the circuit
3Length of moving object
If entanglement swapping is performed over long distances, then image data transfer capability is improved, but entanglement coherence is lost in multimode fibers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediate quantum node that performs high-dimensional Bell state measurement as a mediator between the entangled photon sources and detectors. This intermediary performs entanglement swapping that is specifically designed to be resilient against decoherence in multimode optical fibers, enabling long-distance quantum teleportation imaging by compensating for the degradation of entanglement coherence during transmission
