Application: Optical device (Patent ID: US20230412372A1)
The patent filed by Toshiba Corp describes an optical device that includes a light routing element, a combiner, a controller, and a phase controlling element to manipulate the routing of light pulses through different optical paths with fixed phase differences. The device can switch between different routing states based on control signals, allowing for encoding of quantum states and maintaining orthogonal states in different bases.
Additionally, the optical device may include multiple phase controlling elements, light guiding elements, and intensity controlling elements to further manipulate the light pulses. The device can be implemented on a photonic chip and is designed for quantum communication systems. A method for encoding quantum states using the optical device is also described, involving routing coherent light pulses through different paths with fixed phase differences and combining the outputs into a single path.
