Abstract:
A quantum communication system that includes a multiphoton entanglement generator, a plurality of photon detector units, and a plurality of optical fiber links. The plurality of photon detector units include a first photon detector unit and a second photon detector unit. The multiphoton entanglement generator is structurally configured to output more than two entangled photons. The plurality of optical fiber links comprise a first optical fiber link optically coupled to the multiphoton entanglement generator and disposed between the multiphoton entanglement generator and the first photon detector unit. The plurality of optical fiber links comprise a second optical fiber link optically coupled to the multiphoton entanglement generator and disposed between the multiphoton entanglement generator and the second photon detector unit. Further, at least one of the plurality of optical fiber links has a core, a cladding, and a scattering region having a plurality of scattering structures.
