Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses quantum entangled photons as an intermediary carrier to transmit data. The entangled photon pairs are generated at the source, with one photon sent to the receiver and the other retained. This intermediary quantum system enables instantaneous correlation between sender and receiver, eliminating classical transmission time delays while maintaining data integrity through quantum state correlation.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the fundamental parameter of data transmission from classical electromagnetic wave propagation to quantum entangled state correlation. By altering the transmission mechanism from speed-dependent classical signals to instantaneous quantum correlations, the system achieves elimination of time delays while maintaining communication functionality through measurement-based information transfer.

Solution Approach 1:

The quantum entangled photon system provides self-service functionality where the entangled photons automatically maintain their quantum correlation without requiring active control or adjustment during transmission. The system self-regulates through the inherent properties of quantum entanglement, reducing the need for complex control mechanisms and simplifying the overall system architecture despite the advanced physics involved.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a universal quantum entanglement mechanism that can serve multiple communication functions simultaneously. The same entangled photon system handles both data encoding and transmission, eliminating the need for separate control and data channels. This multi-functionality reduces system complexity by consolidating multiple subsystems into a single quantum-based platform.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses dynamic control of laser beam phases and amplitudes to create time-varying interference patterns for data encoding. By dynamically adjusting the relative phases of multiple entangled photon beams, the system can encode complex data patterns without requiring static complex optical structures. This dynamic approach enhances data transmission capability while keeping the physical system relatively simple.

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs periodic modulation of laser beam parameters to create interference patterns that encode data. By using periodic variations in beam intensity, phase, or frequency, the system can encode multiple bits of information through temporal patterns, enhancing data transmission capability without requiring proportionally increased system complexity.

AI summary

The present invention relates to a laser data transmission system and, more particularly, to a communication system using a plurality of laser beams populated with quantum entangled photons. At least one of the laser beams is moved to form an overlapping pattern with a second laser reference beam to form an interference pattern between the laser beams as they impinge upon a detector array to transmit encoded data and to remotely decode the encoded data simultaneously. The interference patterns are used to encode and simultaneously decode the interference shadows upon impingement of the laser beams on a detector array.
