Topological Photonics for Quantum Information Transmission
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
This paper investigates the potential of topological photonics for revolutionizing quantum information transmission. The core claim centers on leveraging topological effects, specifically topological optical structures like photonic rings and topological photons, to achieve long-distance, loss-free quantum communication. This is achieved through precise control and manipulation of photons within these structures, facilitating robust quantum information encoding and decoding. The novelty lies in the application of topological optics within the context of quantum communication, addressing key limitations of conventional approaches. We explore the theoretical framework, outlining the mechanisms involved and highlighting the advantages in terms of security and efficiency. The work presents a foundational understanding of utilizing topological protection to mitigate decoherence and extend the range of quantum information transfer. The presented models and concepts aim to provide a roadmap for future research and development in this rapidly evolving field. ---
