• Abstract: 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 photon-number resolving (PNR) detectors with finite resolution and low-intensity local oscillator. As a figure of merit, we consider the mutual information for a Gaussian input modulation. We prove an enhancement over Shannon capacity in the photon starved regime, obtained by exploiting information on the mean signal energy to suitably optimize the local oscillator intensity. Thereafter, we investigate the performance of non-Gaussian modulation, by considering a Gamma distribution of the energy of the encoded pulses, and achieve an increase in the information rate with respect to the Gaussian modulation case in the intermediate energy regime, being more accentuated for low values of the PNR resolution.

  Photonic interconnects between quantum computing modules provide a solution to the qubit scalability problem. We investigate the relationship between the entanglement affected by the spontaneous emission and the waveform of the pump pulse used in the photon generation. We extend our analysis to entanglement distribution in the general multipartite setting and show that the analysis of the bipartite entanglement can be straightforwardly applied in this case as well.

• Greedy receiver for photon-efficient optical communication [0.0]
  I introduce a new receiver based on a locally optimal greedy algorithm and apply it to pulse position modulation. The receiver reduces the error probabilities of previously proposed strategies in all signal strength regimes and achieves results comparable to those obtained by numerical optimization of the detection process. In the photon-starved regime characteristic of deep space optical communication, the greedy receiver approaches the quantum-optimal Helstrom bound on state discrimination error probability.

  We theoretically investigate the efficacy of Brillouin light scattering for quantum tomography of magnons. We find that the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is typically low due to a small magneto-optical coupling. We reconstruct the density matrix of the magnons from the statistics of the output photons using a maximum likelihood estimate.
