Efficient scheme for the preparation of symmetric Dicke states via cross-Kerr nonlinearity

A scheme is proposed for generating maximally entangled Dicke states among four modes. The scheme only uses Kerr medium and homodyne measurements on coherent light fields, which can be efficiently made in quantum optical laboratories. The scheme can be generalized to produce maximally entangled 2k-qubit states.     

Analysis of BPSK homodyne receivers based on modified balanced optical phase-locked loop in the presence of non-negligible loop propagation delay

Optical homodyne receivers based on modified balanced optical phase-locked loop is analyzed taking into account loop propagation delay. This modified loop contains all the components of a standard BOPLL in conjunction of an additional phase modulator. This modified loop offers a much improved tracking performance and also shows good improvements in the reduction performance over previously reported methods, like, relaxed line-width requirement and improved lock-in range. This study for the first time shows the imperfect-phase-recovery-induced power penalty as a function of laser line-width with the optimum phase deviations in the presence of non-negligible loop propagation delay. It is found that in order to maintain a 10⁻¹⁰ BER system performance with ξ = 1, R = 1 A/W, P_R = −53 dBm, Δυ = 1 MHz, phase modulator sensitivity K_PM = 10 rad/V and 10° phase deviation between the two transmitted bits, the loop delay must be kept below 3 ns. Further, the required line-width with the non-negligible loop delay time is evaluated and found to be (2.1 × 10⁻³)/τ, where τ (s) is the loop delay. This number corresponds to BER = 10⁻¹⁰, imperfect phase recovery power penalty of 1 dB and phase modulator sensitivity K_PM = 20 rad/V.

Analytical approach of using the squeezed state formation of light for conducting all-optical noise free XOR and NOT logic operation

Due to highly noise-reduced signal nature the squeezed state of light has drawn an enormous attention of present day scientific community specially in the area of information processing and digital communication. On the other side optics has been established as a powerful candidate to be used in information processing due to its high parallelism and real time speed of operation. Here in this paper the authors propose a new concept of developing all-optical XOR logic gate (which is a fundamental and essential one in digital communication and computation) using squeezed state formation of light.
