Clock synchronization with dispersion cancellation
V. Giovannetti, S. Lloyd, L. Maccone, F. N. C. Wong
Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 117902 (2001)



Abstract
The dispersion cancellation feature of pulses which are entangled in frequency is employed to synchronize clocks of distant parties. The proposed protocol is insensitive to the pulse distortion caused by transit through a dispersive medium. Since there is cancellation to all orders, also the effects of slowly fluctuating dispersive media are compensated. The experimental setup can be realized with currently available technology, at least for a proof of principle.
