A system and method for taking measurements in a formation. The system may include a quantum entangled photon source that entangles an idler particle and a probe particle, a transmitter disposed in a wellbore and connected to the quantum entangled photon source by a transmitter waveguide, a receiver disposed in the wellbore, and a carrier laser connected to the receiver by a carrier waveguide. The system may further comprise a detector connected to the carrier waveguide and an information handling system in communication with the quantum entangled photon source, the carrier laser, and the detector. The method may include broadcasting a probe particle from a transmitter into a formation, capturing the probe particle with at least one receiver after the probe particle has interacted with the formation, and measuring the probe particle during an interaction with the formation using an idler particle in a detector.
A system comprising:
The system of claim 1, further comprising an interface that connects the receiver to the carrier waveguide. 3 The system of claim 2, wherein the interface transfers a radio frequency of the probe particle to an optical medium on the carrier waveguide.
A method comprising:
