Research abstract

The current proposal aims at the development and a proof-of-concept demonstration of a novel type of high-speed photonic integrated analyzer for unconditionally entangled and noise squeezed quantum states. The key feature in the proposed analyzer is that it operates without use of an optical phase-locked loop (OPLL) relying on the phase diversity architecture, in which the local oscillator for the homodyne detection operates as a free-running laser without its optical carrier phase and frequency controls. This results in a dramatic simplification of both the squeezed states analyzer (SSA) and the unconditionally entangled states analyzer (ESA) setups and opens a path toward a truly practical photonic integrated SSA and ESA devices satisfying the SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) constraints. In Phase 1, Relative Dynamic Inc., led by Dr. Vladimir Grigoryan, will undertake over 50% of the project work. The remaining tasks will be distributed almost equally among our STTR partners, with Prof. Hamed Dalir at the University of Florida playing a significant role. The budget has been meticulously prepared to reflect this distribution of work, ensuring that Relative Dynamic Inc., will actively participate in and spearhead all project tasks. Our target customers include technology companies like IBM, Microsoft, Google, SpaceX, and Amazon, as well as government agencies such as the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Energy (DoE), which are focused on quantum computing and cybersecurity advancements. The go-to-market strategy involves forming strategic partnerships with these organizations, securing government contracts, and licensing breakthrough technologies to private sector companies. Relative Dynamics Inc. initial customers require high performance telescopes for military and satellite applications. This includes all branches of the US military, US DoD Agencies, NASA and all DoD and commercial aerospace companies.
