Example Sentences

Their approach uses high-dimensional encoding and is based on a well-known optical phenomenon called the Talbot effect.

From Science Daily

The team turned to the Talbot effect, a classical optics phenomenon first described in 1836 by Henry Fox Talbot.

From Science Daily

"Thanks to the space-time analogy in optics, we can apply the Talbot effect to short light pulses, including single photons -- thereby gaining new capabilities for analyzing and processing quantum states. In our case, a sequence of light pulses acts like a diffraction grating and can 'self-reconstruct' in time under dispersion after traveling some distance in an optical fiber. Moreover, the way pulses interfere depends on their phase, which allows us to detect different types of superpositions."

From Science Daily

"Thanks to the new method using the temporal Talbot effect, we successfully demonstrated QKD with two- and four-dimensional encoding, using the same transmitter and receiver. Despite errors inherent to the simple experimental approach, our results confirm the higher information efficiency of the system resulting from high-dimensional encoding," says Widomski.
