As a practical application, a security-enhanced quantum state memory using atoms has been demonstrated. It was shown that the quantum superposition preserved in an atomic ensemble was scrambled and faithfully descrambled; however, the scrambled phase ambiguity remained at 50 %. To overcome this problem, we propose and demonstrate a scheme that achieves 100 % phase ambiguity without introducing an extra Ramsey interferometer. Moreover, this scheme can be used as a direct application to keep the choice between two values secret without falsification.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-02-05T07:24:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum superposition", "scrambled memory", "quantum computation device", "security-enhanced quantum state memory", "extra ramsey interferometer" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Nature" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
