The development of quantum technologies based on optical platforms demands an adequate engineering of the employed quantum states of light. In this framework, we show that superthermal states generated by sending a coherent beam through a sequence of two diffusers in cascade represent good candidates for different applications. Here, we summarize some recent results achieved exploiting this kind of light and show that it can be used to realize a differential ghost-imaging scheme and to encode information in an underwater communication protocol based on mesoscopic twin-beam states and photon-number-resolving detectors. The good quality of the experimental results suggests further investigations on the possible application of this kind of light to different contexts.

Towards underwater quantum communication in the mesoscopic intensity regime

Alessia Allevi, Maria Bondani

The problem of secure underwater communication can take advantage of the exploitation of quantum resources and novel quantum technologies. At variance with the current experiments performed at the single photon level, here we propose a different scenario involving mesoscopic twin-beam states of light and two classes of commercial photon-number-resolving detectors. We prove that twin-beam states remain nonclassical even if the signal propagates in tubes filled with water, while the idler is transmitted in free space. We also demonstrate that from the study of the nonclassicality information about the loss and noise sources affecting the transmission channels can be successfully extracted.
