A versatile telecom quantum receiver for energy and bandwidth efficient communication

Jabir M. V., N. Fajar R. Annafianto, Ivan A. Burenkov +2 more

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.

Versatile quantum-enabled telecom receiver

We experimentally demonstrate a quantum-measurement-based receiver for a range of modulation schemes and alphabet lengths in a telecom C-band. We attain symbol error rates below the shot noise limit for all the studied modulation schemes and the alphabet lengths 4≤M≤16. In doing so, we achieve the record energy sensitivity for telecom receivers. We investigate the trade-off between energy and bandwidth use and its dependence on the alphabet length. We identify the combined (energy and bandwidth) resource efficiency as a figure of merit and experimentally confirm that the quantum-inspired hybrid frequency/phase encoding has the highest combined resource efficiency.

Abstract We present a systematic study of quantum receivers and modulation methods enabling resource efficient quantum-enhanced optical communication. We introduce quantum-inspired modulation schemes that theoretically yield a better resource efficiency than legacy protocols. Experimentally, we demonstrate below the shot-noise limit symbol error rates for M ≤ 16 legacy and quantum-inspired communication alphabets using software-configurable optical communication time-resolving quantum receiver testbed. Further, we experimentally verify that our quantum-inspired modulation schemes boost the accuracy of practical quantum measurements and significantly optimize the combined use of energy and bandwidth for communication alphabets that are longer than M = 4 symbols.
