Quantum Noise with Stimulated Emission for Classical Communication over Zero-Capacity Optical Channels

Abstract

We demonstrate that by adding noise to arbitrary zero classical-capacity optical quantum channels positive classical capacity can be achieved and it requires only the most natural process that occurs during stimulated emission.

Quasi-superactivation of classical capacity of zero-capacity quantum channels

László Gyöngyösi, Sándor Imre

One of the most surprising recent results in quantum Shannon theory is the superactivation of the quantum capacity of a quantum channel. This phenomenon has its roots in the extreme violation of additivity of the channel capacity and enables reliable transmission of quantum information over zero-capacity quantum channels. In this work we demonstrate a similar effect for the classical capacity of a quantum channel which previously was thought to be impossible. We show that a nonzero classical capacity can be achieved for all zero-capacity quantum channels and it only requires the assistance of an elementary photon–atom interaction process – stimulated emission.

Channel capacity restoration of noisy optical quantum channels

László Gyöngyösi, Sándor Imre

This paper defines a fundamentally new approach of capacity recovery of very noisy, practically completely useless optical quantum channels. The transmission of information through classical channels and quantum channels differs in many ways. The capacity recovery of very noisy communication channels cannot be imagined for classical systems, and this effect has no analogue in classical systems. The capacity recovery of very noisy quantum channels makes it possible to use two very noisy optical-fiber based quantum channels with a positive joint capacity at the output. Our method gives an algorithmic solution to the capacity recovery problem, and provides an efficient algorithmic solution for finding recoverable very noisy optical quantum channels.

Strong Converse for the Classical Capacity of Optical Quantum Communication Channels

Bhaskar Roy Bardhan, Raúl García−Patrón, Mark M. Wilde +1 more

We establish the classical capacity of optical quantum channels as a sharp transition between two regimes-one which is an error-free regime for communication rates below the capacity, and the other in which the probability of correctly decoding a classical message converges exponentially fast to zero if the communication rate exceeds the classical capacity. This result is obtained by proving a strong converse theorem for the classical capacity of all phase-insensitive bosonic Gaussian channels, a well-established model of optical quantum communication channels, such as lossy optical fibers, amplifier, and free-space communication. The theorem holds under a particular photon-number occupation constraint, which we describe in detail in this paper. Our result bolsters the understanding of the classical capacity of these channels and opens the path to applications, such as proving the security of noisy quantum storage models of cryptography with optical links.

Long-distance quantum communications with superactivated Gaussian optical quantum channels

László Gyöngyösi, Sandor Imre

The superactivation of zero-capacity optical quantum channels makes it possible to use two zero-capacity optical quantum channels, with a positive joint capacity at the output. Here we show, that noisy Gaussian quantum channels with the help of entanglement and coherent optical devices, can be used to transmit quantum information perfectly. It will be demonstrated that using the superactivation effect, it is possible to develop efficient quantum repeaters with the elimination of the very inefficient and expensive purification process.
