Quantum State Interferography found
Part of: GS-Prelims and GS-III – Science and technology; Achievements of Indians in Science and technology
- Indian Scientists have found a new way of inferring the state of a system (both 2-D qubits and higher-dimensional qubits) from an interference pattern.
- It has been termed as ‘Quantum State Interferography’ (QSI).
- New ways are being experimented with to manipulate quantum states so that they can be harnessed for computing, communication, and metrology.
- QSI can help make manipulations simpler so that several crucial operations in quantum technologies become less cumbersome.
- The setup requires only two interferometers from which many interferograms can be obtained to reconstruct the state.
