USING NOISE TO IMPROVE MEASUREMENT AND INFORMATION PROCESSING

Solenna Blanchard, David Rousseau, François Chapeau‐Blondeau

Published Jan 1, 2007• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

This paper proposes a synthetic presentation on the phenomenon of stochastic resonance or improvement through the action of noise. Several situations and mechanisms are reported, demonstrating a constructive role of noise, in the context of measurement and sensors, data and information processing, with examples on digital images.

PARTICLE STATISTICS IN QUANTUM INFORMATION PROCESSING

Yasser Omar

Particle statistics is a fundamental part of quantum physics, and yet its role and use in the context of quantum information have been poorly explored so far. After briefly introducing particle statistics and the Symmetrization Postulate, we argue that this fundamental aspect of nature can be seen as a resource for quantum information processing and present examples showing how it is possible to do useful and efficient quantum information processing using only the effects of particle statistics.

– Noise

J.C.G Lesurf

Whenever we try to make accurate measurements we discover that the quantities we are obseiVing appear to fluctuate randomly by a small amount. This limits our ability to make quick, accurate measurements and ensures that the amount of information we can collect or communicate is always finite. These random fluctuations are called Noise. They arise because the real world behaves in a quantised or 'lumpy' fashion. A common question when designing or using information systems is, 'Can we do any better?' In some cases it's possible to improve a system by choosing a better design or using it in a different way. In other cases we're up against fundamental limits set by unavoidable noise effects. To decide whether it is worth trying to build a better system we need to understand how noise arises and behaves. Here we will concentrate on electronic examples. However, you should bear in mind that similar results arise when we consider information carried in other ways (e.g. by photons in optonics systems).

Nonlocal Noise and Self-Decoherence

Subhash C. Kak

It is customary to see random interactions of particles and systems with each other as being the origin of noise. It is often used to describe the limits of experimental sensitivity in a physics experiment. A measurement is said to be in the noise if it is not reproducible.

Storing, processing, and retrieving an image using quantum mechanics

Salvador Elías Venegas-Andraca, Sougato Bose

We investigate the storage and retrieval of an image in a multi-particle quantum mechanical system. Several models are studied and compared with corresponding classical digital methods. We consider a situation in which qubits replace classical bits in an array of pixels and show several advantages. For example, we consider the situation in which 4 different values are randomly stored in a single qubit and show that quantum mechanical properties allow better reproduction of original stored values compared with classical (even stochastic) methods. The retrieval process is uniquely quantum (involves measurement in more than one bases). The independence and the finiteness of the stored copies of the image play an important role in the quantum protocol being better than the classical one. Other advantages of quantum storage of an image are found in its security.

GENERATION AND APPLICATION OF SQUEEZED STATE LIGHT SUB-SHOT-NOISE-LIMIT OPTICAL MEASUREMENT AND QUANTUM INFORMATION

Kun Cheng Peng

Squeezed state light is a nonclassical optical field which has extensive potential applications in optical measurement with high sensitivity exceeding the standard quantum limit as well as in optical communications and quantum information with extremely low noise. This has given birth to cross-disciplines of physics and information science. An overview is presented of the generation of squeezed state light fields and their important applications in sub-shot-noise-limit optical measurement and quantum information research.

The noise makes the signal: What a small fry should know about stochastic resonance

Vyacheslav Shatokhin, Thomas Wellens, Andreas Buchleitner

We are traditionally educated to consider noise a nuisance, hindering the transmission and detection of signals. Recently, however, the paradigm of stochastic resonance (SR) proved this assertion wrong: indeed, the appropriate amount of noise can facilitate signal detection in noisy environments. Due to its simplicity and robustness, SR has been implemented by mother nature on almost any scale, from celestial mechanics to ion channels. The present mini-review outlines the basic mechanism underlying SR phenomena, and discusses recent quantum optical scenarios, in the deep quantum regime.
