Transmission of Information Using Mössbauer Photons

Abstract

Abstract The first successful transmission of information using a random stream of Mössbauer photons is reported. The gamma radiation was modulated using the quantum interference effect between the incident and forward-scattered resonant radiation. The proposed method will have significant advantages in terms of size and energy consumption compared to systems using X-ray tube radiation and will also allow information to be transmitted secretly.

Information transmission by random flow of gamma-photons: optimization of data-acquisition time

Almaz L. Zinnatullin, R. N. Shakhmuratov, Farit G. Vagizov

Abstract We transmit classical information in the form of Windows-1253 codes for text by modulating the intensity of a random flow of Mössbauer gamma-photons. It is shown that the time required for reliable decoding of information can be significantly reduced by averaging the number of gamma-photons detected in certain time windows. We find the optimal duration of this time experimentally. The proposed protocol allows reliable extraction of information from a very noisy signal.

Coherent methods for controlling Mössbauer photons

Farit G. Vagizov, R. N. Shakhmuratov, Р. Н. Нурмехамитов +1 more

Two methods of forming short pulses from a single-phonon wave packet are compared. The first of these, known as gamma-echo method, is based on the rapid shift of a resonant absorber to the half-wavelength of the radiation at the moment it passes through the absorber. The second method is based on the transmission of radiation through an vibrating absorber. The advantages and disadvantages of both methods are discussed.

Transmission of gamma-quanta through vibrating target

A. Ya. Dzyublik

The transmission of the Mössbauer γ-quanta through a vibrating absorber is analyzed in the framework of the quantum theory.For this aim the photons are described by the Bialynicki -Birula's wave function.We calculated time dependence of the wave packets, which describe the transmitted γ-photons.It is shown that the squared modulus of their wave function determines the detection rate of γ-photons in full analogy with particles having a mass.The effect of anomalous transmission of Mössbauer radiation, caused by high-frequency periodic swings of the absorber, and the corresponding suppression of reactions is studied.

Gamma-protocol for secure transmission of information

R. N. Shakhmuratov, Зиннатуллин А.Л., Farit G. Vagizov

Secure communication that allows only the sender and intended recipient of a message to view its content has a long history. Quantum objects, such as single photons are ideal carriers for secure information transmission because, according to the no-cloning theorem [1], it is impossible to create an identical and independent copy of an arbitrary quantum state while its detection leads to the information distortion. BB84 [2,3] is the first quantum cryptography protocol for a quantum key generation and distribution, based on single photon sources. This quantum key is used for coding and decoding of classical information. We propose completely different protocol based on a stochastic decay of an ensemble of radioactive nuclei randomly emitting a stream of gamma-photons. We experimentally demonstrate a method how to transmit classical information containing binary bits (0 or 1) with the help of this stream. Transmission is organized such that eavesdropping is impossible since the presence of information in the stream of randomly emitted gamma-photons can be hidden. Reading of this information needs precise knowledge of the repetition rate of its sending in advance. It is unrealistic for the eavesdropper to disclose this rate, and without knowledge of this parameter it is impossible to make the transmitted information visible.

Cryptography with stochastic photons

R. N. Shakhmuratov, Зиннатуллин А.Л., Farit G. Vagizov

Abstract Quantum cryptography protocols are based on the use of quantum objects with at least two orthogonal states, for example, the polarization states of a photon. We propose a completely different cryptography protocol using a stochastic flow of single photons. Our method is based on the stochastic decay of an ensemble of radioactive nuclei randomly emitting a stream of γ -photons. We have experimentally demonstrated the transmission of classical information containing binary bits. Reading this information requires precise knowledge of the repetition rate of its sending. Otherwise, it is impossible to make the transmitted information visible, since it will be lost in the noise.
