Coherent Communication of Continuous Quantum Variables with Linear Optics

Abstract

We provide experimental proposals for coherent communication with linear optics. The first proposal suggests a linear-optical scheme for coherent superdense coding. The second proposal gives a linear-optical coherent teleportation scheme.

The multiparty coherent channel and its implementation with linear optics

Guangqiang He, Taizhi Liu, Tao Xin

The continuous-variable coherent (conat) channel is a useful resource for coherent communication, supporting coherent teleportation and coherent superdense coding. We extend the conat channel to multiparty conditions by proposing definitions on multiparty position-quadrature and momentum-quadrature conat channel. We additionally provide two methods to implement this channel using linear optics. One method is the multiparty version of coherent communication assisted by entanglement and classical communication (CCAECC). The other is multiparty coherent superdense coding.

Continuous-variable quantum communication

Vladyslav C. Usenko, Antonio Acín, Romain Alléaume +8 more

Tremendous progress in experimental quantum optics in recent decades has enabled the advent of quantum technologies, one of which is quantum communication. Aimed at novel methods for more secure or more efficient information transfer, quantum communication has developed into an active field of research and proceeds toward full-scale implementations and industrialization. Continuous-variable methods of multiphoton quantum state preparation, manipulation, and coherent detection, as well as the respective theoretical tools of phase-space quantum optics, offer the possibility of making quantum communication efficient, applicable, and accessible, thus boosting the development of the field. We review the methodology, techniques, and protocols of continuous-variable quantum communication from the first theoretical ideas through milestone implementations to recent developments. The review covers quantum key distribution as well as other quantum communication schemes that are suggested on the basis of continuous-variable states and measurements.

Mapping Qubit Protocols to Coherent-State Protocols in Quantum Communication

Juan Miguel Arrazola, Norbert Lütkenhaus

We introduce a general mapping for encoding quantum communication protocols involving pure states of multiple qubits, into another set of protocols that employ coherent states of light, linear optics transformations and measurements with single-photon threshold detectors.

Coherent communication with linear optics

We show how to implement several continuous-variable coherent protocols with linear optics. Noise can accumulate when implementing each coherent protocol with realistic optical devices. Our analysis bounds the level of noise accumulation. We highlight the connection between a coherent channel and a nonlocal quantum nondemolition interaction and give two new protocols that implement a coherent channel. One protocol is superior to a previous method for a nonlocal quantum nondemolition interaction because it requires fewer communication resources. We then show how continuous-variable coherent superdense coding implements two nonlocal quantum nondemolition interactions with a quantum channel and bipartite entanglement. We finally show how to implement continuous-variable coherent teleportation experimentally and provide a way to verify the correctness of its operation.
