US Patent Issued to California Institute of Technology on Sept. 2 for "Teleportation systems toward a quantum internet" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,407,422, issued on Sept. 2, was assigned to California Institute of Technology (Pasadena, Calif.).

"Teleportation systems toward a quantum internet" was invented by Maria Spiropulu (Pasadena, Calif.) and Venkata Ramana Raju Valivarthi (Pasadena, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Quantum teleportation is essential for many quantum information technologies, including long-distance quantum networks. Using fiber-coupled devices, including state-of-the-art low-noise superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors and off-the-shelf optics, we achieve conditional quantum teleportation of time-bin qubits at the telecommunication wavelength ...
