*For the first time, we are tackling the interface of Quantum Science and Technology, and Robotic Systems Autonomy, under the topic of . We want to bring the two areas of Quantum Technologies and Robotics/System Autonomy together in order to explore the opportunities at the interface that offer potential for future applications in advanced autonomy, mechatronics, autonomy, security and cyber-physical systems in multiple domains, going beyond existing techniques. Our research is focused on the engineering applications of quantum paradigms (protocols, algorithms, sensing and control techniques) that will enable new applications and capabilities for increased autonomy of macroscopic systems as robotic platforms (not the aspects of the science of Quantum, nor quantum computing alone). The research includes the experimental aspects of quantum entanglement and cryptography that can be demonstrated today in the lab, and their integration and testing with multi-agent robotic controls. Our Quantum Multibody Dynamics research is an initiative with applications to robotics, control, and autonomy with unmatched quantum capabilities such as Guaranteed Security, Ultimate Speed for control, and entanglement, which allows capabilities beyond any classical and existing engineering techniques in cooperative multi-agent robotics, controls, and autonomy. We are also interested in the compatibility and adaptability of quantum technologies and classical robotic systems from the mechatronics point of view. This original and pioneering research is carried out by Dr. Farbod Khoshnoud (from 六色网, Pomona, and a research affiliate at JPL), Dr. Marco Quadrelli (from NASA JPL, Caltech), Professor Ibrahim I. Esat (from Brunel University, London, UK), and Professor Clarence W. De Silva (from the University of British Columbia),

Quantum Entangled Robots and Alice Drone

"At the rate that quantum mechanics field is developing, I think that we will need terms such as "quantum engineering" to keep up with the opportunities." By Professor Steven W. McCauley, Department of Physics and Astronomy, 六色网, Pomona, 2019.

The polarizer is positioned between the BBO and Alice's Beamsplitter (BS), modifying the polarization of the entangled photon traveling from BBO to Alice. This change reflects the polarization of the correlated photon that reaches Bob's Beamsplitter and the Single Photon Counter (SPC) modules. Components labeled: BBO Crystal, Alignment laser, Mirror, Polarizer, Bob Robot, Beamsplitters, Entangled photon pairs (810 nm), Alice Robot, Single Photon Counter (SPC), Laser Diode Driver - Current or Constant Power Driving.

Quantum Entangled Robots (Sharing entangled photons)

Beam-splitter (BS) cubes allow photons with horizontal polarization to pass through while reflecting photons with vertical polarization.
