• Abstract summary: We propose and demonstrate an asynchronous detection method for squeezed light that eliminates the need for complex systems. We validate the feasibility of our approach in two key applications: the distribution of squeezed light over a 10 km fiber channel, and secure quantum key distribution between two labs connected via deployed fiber. This demonstrates a practical digital reconstruction method for squeezed light, opening new avenues for practical distributed quantum sensing networks and high-performance and long-distance quantum communication.

• Abstract: Squeezed light plays a vital role in quantum information processing. By nature, it is highly sensitive, which presents significant practical challenges, particularly in remote detection, traditionally requiring complex systems such as active phase locking, clock synchronization, and polarization control. Here, we propose and demonstrate an asynchronous detection method for squeezed light that eliminates the need for these complex systems. By employing radio-frequency heterodyne detection with a locally generated local oscillator and applying a series of digital unitary transformations, we successfully reconstruct squeezed states of light. We validate the feasibility of our approach in two key applications: the distribution of squeezed light over a 10 km fiber channel, and secure quantum key distribution between two labs connected via deployed fiber based on continuous variables using squeezed vacuum states without active modulation. This demonstrates a practical digital reconstruction method for squeezed light, opening new avenues for practical distributed quantum sensing networks and high-performance and long-distance quantum communication using squeezed states and standard telecom technology.
