    Abstract: A system and method for distributing a quantum key from a first party to a second party. A first node is connected to a public channel, wherein the first node includes a pulse position modulation encoder connected to a quantum channel. A second node is connected to the public channel, wherein the second node includes a pulse position modulation decoder connected to the quantum channel. The pulse position modulation encoder encodes quantum states |0> and |1>, and transmits the encoded quantum states from the first node to the second node via the quantum channel. Quantum state |1> is encoded as |1>≡(|t1>+|t2>)/√{square root over (2)}.

    Abstract: Embodiments of an ultra-stable frequency reference generating system and methods for generating an ultra-stable frequency reference using a two-photon Rubidium transition are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a cavity-stabilized reference laser comprising a laser source is locked to a stabilized cavity. A Rubidium cell is interrogated by a stabilized laser output to cause at least a two-photon Rubidium transition and a detector may detect fluorescence resulting from spontaneous decay of the upper state Rubidium transition. The output of the detector is provided at a wavelength of the fluorescence to lock the cavity-stabilized reference laser to generate a stabilized laser output. A frequency comb stabilizer may be locked to the stabilized laser output to generate a super-continuum of optical wavelengths for use in generating an ultra-stable frequency reference.

    Abstract: A high-speed analog-to-digital converter can produce a digital signal representative of an analog input electrical signal. An optical amplitude modulator can modulate an input optical pulse train using the analog input electrical signal. An optical splitter can split the modulated optical pulse train into a plurality of modulated optical pulse trains. Optical path delays can stagger in time the modulated optical pulse trains to form a plurality of time-staggered modulated optical pulse trains. Demodulators can detect and filter the time-staggered modulated optical pulse trains to form a respective plurality of time-averaged voltages. Analog-to-digital converters can output a respective plurality of digital time series representative of the respective time-averaged voltages. An interleaver can aggregate the plurality of digital time series to form the digital signal, which has a sample rate greater than a repetition rate of the input optical pulse train.

    Abstract: Communication apparatus and techniques, such as for optical communication, can include providing a reference frequency derived from an atomic energy level transition or a molecular energy level transition, generating at least two specified optical carrier signals at least in part using the reference frequency, coherently modulating the specified optical carrier signals using respective baseband information signals to provide respective coherently-modulated optical subcarriers. A combined optical information signal comprising the optical subcarriers can be transmitted to a receiver, such as via a fiber optic cable. In an example, a received optical information signal can be optically Fourier transformed to provide respective coherent outputs, which can be coherently downconverted.
