Defense Intelligence Reference Document The Space Communication Implications Of Quantum Entanglement

Defense Intelligence Agency · 32 pages · text from the file's own layer

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.

Figure 8. Transactional Interpretation Diagrams for Case 1. The left-going offer waves pass through the
upper slit of S2 and reach the upper detector (circled). The momentum-entangled right-going offer waves pass only
through the lower slit of 51, which is the optical image of upper 52, and are diffracted to the camera. Confirmation
waves return, and the one-slit transaction forms.
Figure 9 shows the transaction that forms for the nonlocal communication test system
in the Case 2 configuration. The left-going photon passes through both the upper and
lower slits of S2. The two paths connect to a combiner and are detected by the central
detector (circled). The momentum-entangled right-going photon must then also pass
through both slits of S1, which are the optical images of S2, to form a two-slit
interference pattern detected by the camera. The three stages of transaction formation
are shown.
