Wide Bandwidth Experimental Study of Nondegenerate Phase-Sensitive Amplifiers in Single- and Dual-Pump Configurations

We experimentally demonstrate nondegenerate phase-sensitive amplification of a 40-Gb/s differential phase-shift-keying data signal in both single- and double-pumped parametric configurations. Careful optimization of the system has allowed a uniform phase-sensitive gain and attenuation to be achieved over at least 20 nm of bandwidth.

Improvement of unidimensional continuous-variable quantum key distribution systems by using a phase-sensitive amplifier

Luyu Huang, Yichen Zhang, Yundi Huang +2 more

Abstract Inherent defects of the detectors in a practical system cause deterioration of the performance of the unidimensional coherent-state continuous-variable quantum key distribution protocol. Aiming to achieve optimal performance, we propose a method of using a phase-sensitive amplifier to overcome the limitation that the detectors introduce. The modified protocol, corresponding to a higher key rate, provides the practical system with more robustness. To conduct a thorough investigation into the effects that the phase-sensitive amplifier creates, the expressions of the secret key rates are derived, under the conditions of coherent states, homodyne detection against collective attacks, and a phase-sensitive optical amplifier added at the output of the channel. Then, we carry out simulations to observe the performance in the cases of different gains. The simulation results demonstrate that the method we propose can improve the performance of the unidimensional protocol using coherent states and make up for the imperfections of the detector in a practical system.

Phase sensitivity and entanglement of superposition coherent states in Mach–Zehnder interferometer

Gang Ren, Feng Chen

In this paper, we mainly focus on analyzing the fidelity, parity measurement, phase sensitivity and entanglement properties of the output states corresponding to three quantum superposition coherent states, i.e. even coherent state (ECS), Yurke-Stoler state (YSS) and odd coherent state (OCS). Our results show that the OCS characterizes super-resolution in the phase measurement via parity measurement at the output ports of a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. In addition, we find that the optimal phase sensitivity may approach the Heisenberg limit which is independent of the superposition coefficient of the coherent states. An interesting finding is that the macroscopically entangled coherent states can be experimentally prepared by adjusting the parameters of the nonlinear phase shifter of the MZI.
