Claim 24:
25. The system of claim 24, wherein the state converter includes an additional phase modulator in one arm of the interferometer, wherein the additional phase modulator leaves the faint pulse from the light source to be transmitted to the quantum bit encoder unchanged, wherein the additional phase modulator imparts a phase shift between the leading time bin and the lagging time bin of the return pulse, wherein the phase shift imparted by the additional phase modulator is associated with an encoding basis, wherein the phase shift is one of 0 or π on a first basis and one of π/2 or 3π/2 on a second basis, wherein the encoding basis is one of the first basis or the second basis, wherein the three or more detectors are configured to measure polarization in a diagonal basis relative to the encoding basis.
