Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies face challenges in generating and manipulating entangled particles for quantum information storage and transmission, particularly in creating entangled systems that are not easily accessible for practical applications such as quantum computing and secure key exchange, due to the non-locality and probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, which complicates information transfer and storage.

Innovation Solution

A device is developed to generate entangled particles through symmetric scattering, allowing for the transfer and storage of quantum or spin information using a resonator and storage medium, where the information can be manipulated and characterized, enabling non-local information transfer without violating causality, and extending storage periods to macroscopic scales.
