- Quantum Connection Communication
- I have been taking a fresh look at my gedankenexperiment to achieve quantum
- connection communication by disentangling an entangled state. The three
- mathematical considerations are linearity, orthogonality and unitarity. I
- think that some of the initial objections by Gallis and others regarding
- the nonlinearity of my scheme while apparently correct formally were
- actually not ocrrect physically.
-
- Here is the basic point regarding the linearity objection. In Fig.1,
- imagine two Stern-Gerlach magnets. One splits the beam, the other
- reconstructs the initial state.

- In Fig.2, a spin-flip coil U is put in only one path. The second Stern-
- Gerlach magnet is modified in design so that the two sub-beams are
- recombined to one beam. This should be possible. I think a similar
- experiment has actually been done with neutrons and neutron
- interferometers. The output state |f> is no longer the same as the initial
- state |i>. Assuming that the spin-flip does not correlate to orthogonal
- number states of the radiation oscillator but, rather, to non-orthogonal
- coherent Glauber states, we can write
-
- |f> = |+><+|i> + U|-><-|i>
-
- = |+><+|i> + e^i@|+><-|i>
-
- = |+>[<+|i> + e^i@<-|i>]
-
- <i|i> = <f|f> = 1 implies
-
- <+|i><i|->e^-i@ + <-|i><i|+>e^i@ = 0
-
- This is obviously physically correct, yet it "formally" appears to violate
- linearity in that Gallis and others apparently insist upon wanting to write
- that
-
- |f>' = U|i> = U|+><+|i> + U|-><-|i> = e^i@(+)|-><+|i> + e^i@(-)|+><-|i>
-
- which seems obviously physically wrong to me.
-
- Now suppose we have an initial entangled pair state |1,2>, rather than the
- above one-particle state |i>, in which
-
- |1,2> = |1+>|2+><++|1,2> + |1->|2-><--|1,2>
-
- Let the sender-photon 2 pass through the physical device of Fig 2, then if
- I am right, the initial |1,2> is distorted to
-
- |1,2>' = |1+>|2+><++|1,2> + |1->U(2)|2-><--|1,2>
-
- = |1+>|2+><++|1,2> + |1->e^i@|2+><--|1,2>
-
- = |2+>{|1+><++|1,2> + |1->e^i@<--|1,2>}
-
- This means that the receiver photon |1> is polarized and its degree of
- polarization depends upon both @ and also the mismatch & of the two
- polarizers at each end which can, like @, be controlled from the sender.
- The degree of polarization of photon |1> is controlled by real "telepathic"
- action at a distance by the settings of the apparatus for twin photon |2>.
- This would be quantum connection communication in which the locally
- decodable message at the receiver is encoded by changing @ and & at the far
- away sender. The physical reason for unitarity, conservation of probability
- is clearly obeyed. Unlike the single photon case, @ is a free parameter.
