• Title: Operating Fiber Networks in the Quantum Limit
• Authors: Janis N\"otzel and Matteo Rosati
• Abstract summary: We show that a use of optimal quantum receivers allows an estimated $55%$ decrease in energy consumption of all-optical amplifiers in network configurations that are typical today. We find that quantum receiver technology allows for a logarithmic scaling of the system capacity with the baud-rate, while Shannon-type systems are limited by the transmit power.

• Abstract: We consider all-optical network evolution from a quantum perspective. We show that a use of optimal quantum receivers allows an estimated $55\%$ decrease in energy consumption of all-optical amplifiers in network configurations that are typical today. We then compare data transmission capacities of quantum receivers with today's technology operating within the boundaries set by Shannon. We find that quantum receiver technology allows for a logarithmic scaling of the system capacity with the baud-rate, while Shannon-type systems are limited by the transmit power. Thus a natural quantum limit of classical data transmission emerges. Based on the above findings we argue for a new approach to optical communication network design, wherein in-line amplifiers are replaced by novel fiber supporting high spectral bandwidth to allow for noiseless data transmission in the quantum limit.

  We report the first demonstration of quantum teleportation over fibers carrying conventional telecommunications traffic. To protect quantum fidelity from spontaneous Raman scattering noise, we use optimal O-band quantum channels, narrow spectro-temporal filtering, and multi-photon coincidence detection. Results show the feasibility of advanced quantum and classical network applications operating within a unified fiber infrastructure.

Our converse employs prior covert signal power limit results and adapts well-known methods to upper bound quantum capacity of optical channels.
