  • Estimating Intercept Range of Silent Sonar

    Publication

    - Year 2013

    When used in military application, sonars should ensure secretiveness. There is some evidence suggesting that silent sonars have a significant advantage over pulse sonars in the respect. If improved, the secretiveness of silent sonar translates into the distance over witch its soundings signal are detected by intercept sonars. The article gives estimated distances for far, medium, and short range sonars operating in the oceans...

    The problem of sharing entanglement over large distances is crucial for implementations of quantum cryptography. A possible scheme for long-distance entanglement sharing and quantum communication exploits networks whose nodes share Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs. In Perseguers et al. [Phys. Rev. A 78, 062324 (2008)] the authors put forward an important isomorphism between storing quantum information in a dimension D and transmission...
