It can be made manifest via the <i>Dressing Field Method</i> (DFM) of symmetry reduction, a systematic tool to achieve gauge-invariance by extracting the physical degrees of freedom representing relations among field variables. Some applications of the DFM are reviewed and further expanded to the very foundations of the supersymmetric framework, where it allows to build <i>relational supersymmetric field theory</i> and (dis)solves crucial issues. Furthermore, a novel approach within the relational supersymmetric field theory framework giving a unified description of fermionic matter fields and bosonic gauge fields is elaborated, and thus close to Berezin's original motivation for the introduction of supergeometry in fundamental physics: a <i>Matter-Interaction Supergeometric Unification</i> (MISU).

It relies on the concept of superposition, where the probability amplitudes of different processes that contribute to the given phenomenon interfere with each other. When combined, their phases can interfere either constructively or destructively. Quantum interference manifests in three distinct forms: optical interference, arising from the interaction of light waves and forming the basis for technologies such as lasers and optical filters; interference via atoms, which involves manipulating atomic states to control light–matter interactions and enables techniques like Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage and Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in quantum information processing; and interference of atoms with themselves, in which the matter waves of single atoms interfere with each other, as employed in precision measurements such as atom interferometry–a crucial tool for applications in quantum mechanics and precision navigation. These diverse forms of quantum interference have profound implications for numerous scientific disciplines, demonstrating that interference can involve particles beyond just photons.</p>","PeriodicalId":7896,"journal":{"name":"Annalen der Physik","volume":"537 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145012897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The protocol's key rate, known to exceed the repeaterless PLOB bound, is evaluated in the asymptotic limit under noisy conditions typical of satellite communications, including loss-only scenarios. The setup involves two ground-based parties connected via fiber (loss-only or noisy) and a space-based third party linked to one of these two ground-based parties through free-space communication. Simulations using the elliptic-beam approximation model the average key rate (AKR) and its probability distribution (PDR) across varying zenith angles and fiber distances. Down-link free-space communication is assessed under day and night conditions, with intensity optimization for each graphical point. Dynamic configurations of satellite and ground stations are also considered. Results indicate that AKR decays more slowly under loss-only conditions, while PDR analysis shows higher key rates produce more concentrated distributions. These findings demonstrate the potential of PM-MDI QKD protocols for achieving reliable key rates in satellite-based quantum communication.</p>","PeriodicalId":7896,"journal":{"name":"Annalen der Physik","volume":"537 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145012596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
