Sub-shot-noise-limited fiber-optic quantum receiver
2019
We experimentally demonstrate a quantum receiver based on Kennedy scheme for discrimination between two phase-modulated weak coherent states. The receiver is assembled entirely from the standard fiber-optic elements and operates at the conventional telecom wavelength 1.55 microns. The local oscillator and the signal are transmitted through different optical fibers, and the displaced signal is measured with a high-efficiency superconducting nanowire single-photon detector. We show the discrimination error rate two times below the shot-noise limit.
