Patent ID: 8619261

Claim:
A quantum dynamical non-locality device for establishing a photon in a binary state as a binary switch mechanism, said device comprising: a twin Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) for directing the photon along a path, said twin MZI including: first and second right-isosceles triangle prisms that join at an interface beam-splitter, first and second trombone mirrors that respectively correspond to said first and second triangle prisms, each mirror reflecting the photon by an offset substantially perpendicular to photon's travel direction, and first and second spacers respectively disposed between respective said prisms and said mirrors to produce first and second spatial gaps, such that said path includes said spacers and said gaps; a detector that detects a quantum state of the photon after passing said first and second prisms and said first and second mirrors; and a shutter that alternates between one of activation and deactivation within said first gap, wherein said shutter shifts said quantum state of the photon respectively between zero for activation and one for deactivation to provide binary state conditions for the switch mechanism based on weak measurements by said detector.
