A", year="2020", volume="101", number="3", pages="032306 (1 to 5)", optkeywords="SSPD mixer; SNSPD", abstract="We experimentally demonstrate a quantum receiver based on the Kennedy scheme for discrimination between two phase-modulated weak coherent states. The receiver is assembled entirely from standard fiber-optic elements and operates at a conventional telecom wavelength of 1.55 $\mu$m. The local oscillator and the signal are transmitted through different optical fibers, and the displaced signal is measured with a high-efficiency superconducting nanowire single-photon detector. We show the discrimination error rate is two times below that of a shot-noise-limited receiver with the same system detection efficiency.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1268), last updated on Fri, 07 May 2021 13:54:36 -0500", issn="2469-9926", doi="10.1103/PhysRevA.101.032306", opturl="https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevA.101.032306", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.101.032306" }
