Meeting to Decide MTC Memory Selection Scheme, September 16, 1953

To help settle some of the questions raised by the prospect of having a 4096-register magnetic memory in MTC (See Memorandum M-2361), this meeting of MTC personnel and programmer was arranged. Opinion was heavily in favor of a bank-switching instruction which could include drum fields as banks. Certain other features desirable from a programming standpoint were also brought up

Proof-of-Concept of Real-World Quantum Key Distribution with Quantum Frames

We propose and experimentally investigate a fibre-based quantum key distribution system, which employs polarization qubits encoded into faint laser pulses. As a novel feature, it allows sending of classical framing information via sequences of strong laser pulses that precede the quantum data. This allows synchronization, sender and receiver identification, and compensation of time-varying birefringence in the communication channel. In addition, this method also provides a platform to communicate implementation specific information such as encoding and protocol in view of future optical quantum networks. Furthermore, we report on our current effort to develop high-rate error correction.Comment: 25 pages, 14 figures, 4 table
