Wave particle duality processor coherence requirements
H. John Caulfield, Joseph Shamir · Annual Meeting Optical Society of America · 1989
Wave particle duality (WPD) processors1 offer profound energetic advantages over all other processors. This stems from their intrinsically quantum mechanical nature. Here we explore what is called coherence in Ref. 1; namely, the requirements that each detected photon be a quantum mechanical measurement of the whole system and also that each bear the same information.
