Abstract
Discrimination of coherent states beyond the standard quantum limit (SQL) is an important tasknot only for quantum information processing but also for optical coherent communication. In orderto optimize long distance optical fiber networks, it is of practical importance to develop a quantumreceiver 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. Ourreceiver is composed of a displacement operation, a single photon counter and a real time adaptivefeedback operation. By using a high performance single photon detector operating at the telecomwavelength, we achieve a discrimination error beyond the SQL. The demonstration in the telecomband provides the first step important towards quantum and classical communication beyond theSQL 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.
