This Defense Intelligence Reference Document (DIA-08-1003-016), dated 30 March 2010 and produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency under its Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program, reviews quantum entanglement and nonlocality. It asks whether they could carry observer-to-observer signals faster than light or backward in time, with real-time control of a Mars rover as an example. It finds no compelling answer yet and says the question must be settled by experiment.

As Dopfer has shown, because of momentum entanglement, an image of slit system S1 will be formed by the "e" photons linearly polarized vertically (VLP) at a path length f beyond the lens on the deflected path at position S2, where a pair of "cleanup" slits are located that pass only those photons whose entangled twins passed through Si. We note that because of the optical geometry, this imaging occurs even for waves that pass through both of the image points and ultimately interfere.

Slit-Imaging Coincidence-Free Version of the Ghost Interference Experiment to Demonstrate Nonlocal Communication At the image position of each slit at S2, we place an optical fiber, as shown. The fibers conduct the light to an optical switch, at which the light either is sent directly to two avalanche photodiode detectors D (providing which-way information about which of the S1 slits the photon entered) or alternatively is routed to an optical combiner C, with the in-phase output of the combiner then detected, so that waves passing through both slits can contribute constructively to the detection event. We note that this fiber switching system is the fiber-optic equivalent of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (Reference 20), in which one can activate and deactivate the last half-silvered mirror by switching, so that which-way information can be switched on and off. (We also note that similar fiber-combiner-detector technology could be employed after the S1 slits to 12 UNCLASSIFIED//EAAt OFFiil.Ctk Wlli 8HLV
