Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for bit generation. An example method includes determining, by decoding circuitry, a set of optical path lengths to use for measurement. The example method further includes receiving, by the decoding circuitry, a set of time-bin qubits. The example method further measuring, by the decoding circuitry and based on the determined set of optical path lengths, the set of time-bin qubits to generate a set of bits.
Claims20
A system for bit generation, the system comprising decoding circuitry configured to:
- receive a set of time-bin qubits over a quantum line,
- invoke optical path length determination circuitry to determine a set of optical path lengths to use for measurement, and
- measure, based on the set of optical path lengths, the set of time-bin qubits to generate a set of bits.
A method for bit generation, the method comprising:
- receiving, by decoding circuitry, a set of time-bin qubits over a quantum line;
- invoking optical path length determination circuitry to determine a set of optical path lengths to use for measurement;
- and
- measuring, by the decoding circuitry and based on the determined set of optical path lengths, the set of time-bin qubits to generate a set of bits.
A computer program product for bit generation, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions that, when executed, cause an apparatus to:
- receive a set of time-bin qubits over a quantum line;
- invoke optical path length determination circuitry to determine a set of optical path lengths to use for measurement;
- and
- measure, based on the determined set of optical path lengths, the set of time-bin qubits to generate a set of bits.
