The de Broglie Wavelength02:32

The de Broglie Wavelength

In the macroscopic world, objects that are large enough to be seen by the naked eye follow the rules of classical physics. A billiard ball moving on a table will behave like a particle; it will continue traveling in a straight line unless it collides with another ball, or it is acted on by some other force, such as friction. The ball has a well-defined position and velocity or well-defined momentum, p = mv, which is defined by mass m and velocity v at any given moment. This is the typical...
Propagation of Uncertainty from Random Error00:59

Propagation of Uncertainty from Random Error

An experiment often consists of more than a single step. In this case, measurements at each step give rise to uncertainty. Because the measurements occur in successive steps, the uncertainty in one step necessarily contributes to that in the subsequent step. As we perform statistical analysis on these types of experiments, we must learn to account for the propagation of uncertainty from one step to the next. The propagation of uncertainty depends on the type of arithmetic operation performed on...
The Wave Nature of Light02:12

The Wave Nature of Light

The nature of light has been a subject of inquiry since antiquity. In the seventeenth century, Isaac Newton performed experiments with lenses and prisms and was able to demonstrate that white light consists of the individual colors of the rainbow combined together. Newton explained his optics findings in terms of a "corpuscular" view of light, in which light was composed of streams of extremely tiny particles traveling at high speeds according to Newton's laws of motion.
Propagation of Uncertainty from Systematic Error01:10

Propagation of Uncertainty from Systematic Error

The atomic mass of an element varies due to the relative ratio of its isotopes. A sample's relative proportion of oxygen isotopes influences its average atomic mass. For instance, if we were to measure the atomic mass of oxygen from a sample, the mass would be a weighted average of the isotopic masses of oxygen in that sample. Since a single sample is not likely to perfectly reflect the true atomic mass of oxygen for all the molecules of oxygen on Earth, the mass we obtain from this particular...
Propagation of Waves01:07

Propagation of Waves

When a wave propagates from one medium to another, part of it may get reflected in the first medium, and part of it may get transmitted to the second medium. In such a case, the interface of the two mediums can be considered as a boundary that is neither fixed nor free.
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...
Space-Time Curvature and the General Theory of Relativity01:17

Space-Time Curvature and the General Theory of Relativity

In 1905, Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity. According to this theory, no matter in the universe can attain a speed greater than the speed of light in a vacuum, which thus serves as the speed limit of the universe.
This has been verified in many experiments. However, space and time are no longer absolute. Two observers moving relative to one another do not agree on the length of objects or the passage of time. The mechanics of objects based on Newton's laws of motion,...

Area of Science:

  • Quantum communication
  • Quantum optics
  • Atmospheric physics

Background:

  • Long-distance quantum communication faces significant signal loss in transmission channels.
  • Beam wandering is a primary disturbance affecting light propagation in atmospheric channels.
  • Understanding these effects is crucial for developing tap-proof quantum networks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To rigorously analyze the impact of beam wandering on the quantum properties of light.
  • To derive the probability distribution of beam transmissivity.
  • To fully characterize the quantum state of light under atmospheric disturbances.

Main Methods:

  • First-principles derivation of beam transmissivity probability distribution.
  • Theoretical treatment of beam wandering effects.
  • Analysis of quantum state preservation.

Main Results:

  • Beam wandering's effects on quantum properties were rigorously quantified.
  • The probability distribution of beam transmissivity was derived.
  • Beam wandering was found to preserve nonclassical effects like entanglement and squeezing better than standard attenuation.

Conclusions:

  • Beam wandering, while a disturbance, can be less detrimental to quantum states than simple signal loss.
  • This finding has implications for the design of robust atmospheric quantum communication systems.
  • Further research can leverage this understanding for more resilient quantum networks.
