Abstract
A method is proposed to employ entangled and squeezed light for determining the position of a party and for synchronizing distant clocks, An accuracy gain over analogous protocols that employ classical resources is demonstrated and a quantum-cryptographic positioning application is given, which allows only trusted parties to learn the position of whatever must be localized. The presence of a lossy channel and imperfect photodetection is considered. The advantages in using partially entangled states is discussed.File in questo prodotto:
