Plans

Share and decode data

Getting the 'refute local realism' QKD toolchain to work using only 2 XOs and 60kg of equipment.

Method:

Attaching a pair of telescopes to a source of entangled photon pairs, capturing a stream of data via said pairs on one machine and interpreting this as a message.  implications for free will.  
FFT decoding of result, related computation
Running userspace interface to watch the transfer in progress

Generate entanglement

Method:

Attach motherboards directly to the entangling hardware; embed in a demonstration.

Background

Our group is working on quantum key distribution and other methods of quantum-encrpytion for secure communication. We have a portable setup that requires two computers, two telescopes and a source. We want to demonstrate that XOs are suitable as the computers in question.
