Quantum Dispersion Compensator

Send a time-bin-encoded photon wavepacket through an adjustable-length dispersive fiber channel: watch chromatic dispersion smear its timing, then toggle a dispersion compensator and tune its strength to restore sharp timing and entanglement fidelity.

Chromatic dispersion in an optical fiber makes different frequency components of a photon's wavepacket travel at slightly different speeds, smearing a sharply-timed photon over distance. For time-bin qubits and entangled photon pairs whose quantum information lives in precise arrival-time correlations, that smearing degrades fidelity. This simulator sends a wavepacket down an adjustable-length dispersive channel, shows it arrive blurred, then lets you switch in a dispersion compensator and tune its strength to restore — or, if mismatched, only partially restore — sharp timing at the receiver.
