Implementation and Application of Clock Synchronization Based on Quantum Entanglement

Tao Yang

Published Jan 1, 2010• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

A new protocol to synchronize the clocks based on quantum entanglement is discussed and two kinds of implementations which are spin qubit and Cs-quibit are presented.The two frequency programs effectively correct the errors caused by the different duel states held by the two parties who want to synchronize their clocks.

Time Synchronization Based on Quantum Nonlocality

Yang Tao

A new protocol to synchronize the clocks located on different places is presented.Due to the properties,quantum correlations existing in the entanglement and entanglement state collapse into respective eigenstates instantaneously.It is proved that two spatially separated parties can establish a synchronized pair of time by using shared entanglement and communication.

A clock synchronization method based on quantum entanglement

Jianxin Shi, Shanshan Shen

This study presents a clock synchronization method based on quantum entanglement which is simple and reliable and more efficient. The clock synchronization method based on quantum entanglement scheme can greatly improve the accuracy and precision of measurement. More importantly, the proposed method avoids synchronization error caused by traditional method due to the asymmetry of two-way delay. The probability of measuring the quantum state oscillates in cosine or sine fashion with propagation delay. The final experimental and simulation results are basically consistent with the theoretical results. The clock synchronization method based on quantum entanglement scheme can greatly imrprove the accuracy and precision of measurement.

Quantum clock synchronization and quantum error correction

John P. Preskill

I consider quantum protocols for clock synchronization, and investigate in particular whether entanglement distillation or quantum error-correcting codes can improve the robustness of these protocols. I also draw attention to some unanswered questions about the relativistic theory of quantum measurement. This paper is based on a talk given at the NASA-DoD Workshop on Quantum Information and Clock Synchronization for Space Applications (QuICSSA), September 25-26, 2000.

Clock synchronization using maximal multipartite entanglement

Changliang Ren, Holger Friedrich Hofmann

We propose a multiparty quantum clock synchronization protocol that makes optimal use of the maximal multipartite entanglement of GHZ-type states. To realize the protocol, different versions of maximally entangled eigenstates of collective energy are generated by local transformations that distinguish among different groupings of the parties. The maximal sensitivity of the entangled states to time differences between the local clocks can then be accessed if all parties share the results of their local time-dependent measurements. The efficiency of the protocol is evaluated in terms of the statistical errors in the estimation of time differences and the performance of the protocol is compared to alternative protocols proposed previously.

Remote quantum clock synchronization without synchronized clocks

Ebubechukwu O. Ilo-Okeke, Louis Tessler, Jonathan P. Dowling +1 more

Abstract A major outstanding problem for many quantum clock synchronization protocols is the hidden assumption of a common phase reference between the parties to be synchronized. In general, the definition of the quantum states between two parties do not have consistent phase definitions, which can lead to an unknown systematic error. We show that despite prior arguments to the contrary, it is possible to remove this unknown phase via entanglement purification. This closes the loophole for entanglement based quantum clock synchronization protocols, which is a non-local approach to synchronize two clocks independent of the properties of the intervening medium. Starting with noisy Bell pairs, we show that the scheme produces a singlet state for any combination of (i) differing basis conventions for Alice and Bob; (ii) an overall time offset in the execution of the purification algorithm; and (iii) the presence of a noisy channel. Error estimates reveal that better performance than existing classical Einstein synchronization protocols should be achievable using current technology.

Quantum Clock Synchronization with one qubit

Chris Harrelson, Iordanis Kerenidis

The clock synchronization problem is to determine the time difference T between two spatially separated parties. We improve on I. Chuang's quantum clock synchronization algorithm and show that it is possible to obtain T to n bits of accuracy while communicating only one qubit in one direction and using an O(2^n) frequency range. We also prove a quantum lower bound of Ω(2^n) for the product of the transmitted qubits and the range of frequencies, thus showing that our algorithm is optimal.
