A versatile telecom quantum receiver for energy and bandwidth efficient communication

Quantum enabled optical receivers can achieve a symbol error rate below the shot noise limit and have been extensively studied at visible wavelengths. Yet, the practical use of a quantum receiver requires the implementation at telecom wavelengths. Here we report a successful implementation of a telecom-enabled, versatile time resolving quantum receiver testbed that enables a range of modulation schemes and supports long communication alphabets. We achieved the record sensitivity for a legacy 4-symbol modulation and implemented other modulations and longer alphabets for the first time by combining a highly efficient single photon detector with the time-resolved receiver design.

Experimental Demonstration of a Quantum Receiver Beating the Standard Quantum Limit at Telecom Wavelength

Discrimination of coherent states beyond the standard quantum limit (SQL) is an important task not only for quantum information processing but also for optical coherent communication. To optimize long-distance optical fiber networks, it is of practical importance to develop a quantum receiver beating the SQL and approaching the quantum bound at telecom wavelength. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a receiver beating the conventional SQL at telecom wavelength. Our receiver is composed of a displacement operation, a single-photon counter, and a real-time adaptive-feedback operation. By using a high-performance single-photon detector operating at the telecom wavelength, we achieve a discrimination error beyond the SQL. The demonstration in the telecom band is an enabler for quantum and classical communication beyond the SQL using a coherent state alphabet, and we envision that the technology can be used for long-distance quantum-key distribution, effective quantum-state preparation, and quantum estimation.
