Optimal detection with squeezed state for quantum communication in thermal noise channel

Yaoyao Wang, Rong Zhang, Bin Feng Lu +1 more

Pulse position modulation (PPM) is widely adopted in free space optical transmission, and is a candidate for deep space transmission, also in quantum form. The change of signal photon number probability distribution is caused by thermal noise in quantum PPM format. We prove that squeezing improves state discrimination at fixed channel energy, and also in the presence of thermal noise. Then we compare the difference between coherent state and squeezed state in thermal noise and reveal that the squeezed state has better robustness. It is shown that for the fixed channel energy, the larger the squeezed parameter is not the better. For some given total channel energies, we further study and get the optimal squeezed parameter. Finally, combined with the actual situation, the simulation results show that, as a resource for noisy quantum communication channels, the squeezing operation can improve the quality of deep space quantum communication system with PPM.

Squeezed-state-enhanced frequency-modulation spectroscopy

Bernard Yurke, Edward A. Whittaker

We analyze a simple model that demonstrates the feasibility of using optical squeezed states to enhance the detection sensitivity limits of frequency-modulation laser-absorption spectroscopy. The model shows that the most significant noise reduction would result by squeezing the weak frequency-modulated sidebands rather than the strong carrier and that losses in the optical detector could be made to set the limiting noise floor. By using currently available detectors, an order-of-magnitude improvement in the quantum-limited sensitivity of frequency-modulation spectroscopy may be possible.

Quantum Pulse Position Modulation with Photon-Added Squeezed States

Stefano Guerrini, Marco Chiani, Moe Z. Win +1 more

This paper introduces the use of photon-added squeezed states (PASSs) for quantum pulse position modulation (QPPM). It is shown that the use of PASSs in QPPM communication systems can reduce the symbol error probability (SEP) with respect to the use of different classes of quantum states with the same energy, including squeezed states and photon-added coherent states. The impact of thermal noise and phase diffusion on the SEP is also evaluated. The findings of this paper show the utility of PASSs in quantum communication systems.
