Quantum Pulse Position Modulation with Photon-Added Coherent States

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

Quantum communication systems exploit the quantum features of light to enhance the reliability of a classically described communication system. This paper proposes the use of photon-added coherent states (PACSs), instead of coherent states, for quantum pulse position modulation (PPM) systems. PACSs are the most simple example of non-classical non-Gaussian states of light, as they can not be described by the classical laws of physics. We show that employing PACS in a PPM communication system improves the reliability of the communication with respect to using a coherent state with the same energy.

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.

Quantum Quadrature Amplitude Modulation with Photon-Added Gaussian States

Andrea Giani, Moe Z. Win, Andrea Conti

Quantum communication systems exchange information between a source and a destination by encoding such information into quantum states according to modulation techniques. The design of quantum modulation techniques, including quantum quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), requires choosing and characterizing quantum states. This paper explores the use of non-Gaussian photon-added Gaussian states (PAGSs) for quantum QAM communications. First, we characterize pure PAGSs in the Fock space and derive a closed-form expression for their inner product. Then, we develop a quantum QAM technique employing PAGSs. In particular, we show how to construct quantum QAM constellations of PAGSs. Finally, we evaluate the performance of the developed quantum QAM technique with PAGSs, when a square root measurement (SRM) receiver is employed, and compare such performance with that of existing coherent states. Results show that PAGSs can provide a performance gain with respect to coherent states.
