20130004899 | Sub-wavelength Lithography via Rabi Oscillations - A sub-wavelength photolithographic method includes exposing a photoresist material to a stimulating electromagnetic source prior to further exposing the photoresist material to a dissociating electromagnetic source. The stimulating electromagnetic source induces Rabi oscillations in the photoresist material between a first molecular state and an excited molecular state. The subsequent exposure of the photoresist material to the dissociating electromagnetic source dissociates only those molecules that are in the excited state, altering the properties of the photoresist material in zones of excited state molecules. The resulting patterns therefore depend on the spatial distribution of the zones of excited state molecules induced by the stimulating electromagnetic source. The properties of the stimulating electromagnetic source are controlled to achieve a desired spatial distribution of zones of excited state molecules of the photoresist material. | 01-03-2013 |

20140177837 | Method and Apparatus for Direct Counterfactual Quantum Communication - It has long been assumed in physics that for information to travel in empty space between two parties (the Sender and the Receiver), “physically real” entities have to travel between the parties. The recently discovered technique of interaction-free measurement—wherein the presence of an object is inferred without the object directly interacting with the interrogating light—has caused this basic assumption to be questioned. This technique has found application in quantum key distribution in the form of counterfactual quantum key distribution albeit with limited efficiency. In the present invention, using the “chained” quantum Zeno effect, this logic is taken to its natural conclusion and, in the ideal limit, information can be transferred between the Sender and the Receiver without any physical particles whatsoever traveling between them. | 06-26-2014 |
