A robust hybrid receiver for binary phase-shift keying discrimination in the presence of phase noise

Michele N. Notarnicola, Stefano Olivares

We address the problem of coherent state discrimination in the presence of phase diffusion. We investigate the role of the HYbrid Near-Optimum Receiver (HYNORE) we proposed in [J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 40 (2023) 705] in the task of mitigating the noise impact. We prove the HYNORE to be a robust receiver, outperforming the Displacement Photon-Number-Resolving (DPNR) receiver and beating the standard quantum limit in particular regimes. We introduce the maximum tolerable phase noise [Formula: see text] as a figure of merit for the receiver robustness and show that HYNORE increases its value with respect to the DPNR receiver.

Error Performance of SWN Quantum Receiver for QPSK Coherent-State Discrimination

Tian Chen, Bing Zhu

For the QPSK coherent-state discrimination, error performances of the SWN quantum receiver with on-off detectors are analyzed, which can be improved, especially for weak signals when the sequential probing order and displacement parameter are optimized.

Heterodyne-like feedforward partitioned-displacement hybrid receiver for QPSK coherent state discrimination with realistic photon-number-resolving detectors

enhao bai, Tianyi Wu, Fengkai Sun +4 more

This paper proposes a hybrid receiver, the heterodyne-like feedforward partitioned-displacement hybrid (HFPH) receiver, for discriminating quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) coherent states using photon-number-resolving (PNR) detectors. The receiver integrates a heterodyne-like (HL) measurement scheme with a Shuro-like (SL) displacement backend, forming a feedforward architecture that dynamically adapts to real-time decisions. We theoretically analyze the performance of the proposed scheme under practical imperfections, including detection inefficiency, dark counts, and imperfect interference visibility. Our results demonstrate that the HFPH receiver can surpass the standard quantum limit under these non-ideal conditions and exhibits enhanced robustness compared to the benchmark receiver.
