US Patent Issued to General Dynamics Mission Systems on July 22 for "Quantum probability encoding for path identification, quantum relays and faster data rates" (Virginia Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 23 -- United States Patent no. 12,368,516, issued on July 22, was assigned to General Dynamics Mission Systems Inc. (Fairfax, Va.).

"Quantum probability encoding for path identification, quantum relays and faster data rates" was invented by Todd Hodges (Fairfax, Va.), Glen Uehara (Fairfax, Va.) and Jacob Glasby (Fairfax, Va.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The quantum relay and quantum signal source exploit quantum properties of photon streams. A pair of spatially separated and polarization-entangled photon streams is used. The pair collectively exist in a quantum superposition state by virtue of their mutual entanglement. In the relay, an encoder establishes a modulation...
