Quantum-driven sampling of the quasi-uniform distribution via quantum walks
Marco Radaelli, Claudia Benedetti, Stefano Olivares
We investigate the use of discrete-time quantum walks to sample from an almost-uniform distribution, in the absence of any external source of randomness. Integers are encoded on th…
On the application of a Silicon photomultiplier-based receiver for binary phase-shift-keying protocols
Silvia Cassina, Michele N. Notarnicola, Stefano Olivares +1
Over the past decade, binary phase-shift keying %communication encoding has been used as a benchmark to test the performance of different detection strategies to address the proble…
Assessing a binary quantum channel exploiting a Silicon photomultiplier based hybrid receiver
Alberto Sanvito, Silvia Cassina, Marco Lamperti +3
In quantum communication protocols, the use of photon-number-resolving detectors could open new perspectives by broadening the way to encode and decode information, and merging the…
Joint estimation of noise and nonlinearity in Kerr systems
Michele N. Notarnicola, Stefano Olivares, Matteo G. A. Paris
We address characterization of lossy and dephasing channels in the presence of self-Kerr interaction using coherent probes. In particular, we investigate the ultimate bounds to pre…
Employing weak-field homodyne detection for quantum communications
Michele N. Notarnicola, Stefano Olivares
We investigate the role of weak-field homodyne (WF) measurement for quantum communications over a lossy bosonic channel with coherent state encoding. This kind of receiver employs…
A robust hybrid receiver for binary phase-shift keying discrimination in the presence of phase noise
Michele N. Notarnicola, Stefano Olivares
We address the problem of coherent state discrimination in the presence of phase diffusion. We investigate the role of the hybrid near-optimum receiver (HYNORE) we proposed in [J.…
Quantum state features of the FEL radiation from the occupation number statistics
Fabio Benatti, Stefano Olivares, Giovanni Perosa +5
The statistical features of the radiation emitted by Free-Electron Lasers (FELs), either by Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE-FELs) or by seeded emission (seeded-FELs), are…
Quantum characterization of bipartite Gaussian states
D. Buono, G. Nocerino, V. D'Auria +3
Gaussian bipartite states are basic tools for the realization of quantum information protocols with continuous variables. Their complete characterization is obtained by the reconst…
