Simulating Higher-Dimensional Quantum Communications Using Principal Modes

Le résumé fourni par la source

Higher-dimensional communications in optical fiber enables new possibilities, including increased transmission capacity and hyper-entangled state transfer. However, mode coupling between channels during transmission causes interference between channels and limits detection. In classical optical communications, MIMO (modes in modes out) is a means to deal with this issue; however, it is not possible to utilize this technology in quantum communications due to power limitations. Principal mode transmission is another means to deal with mode coupling and signal interference between channels. Conceptually, this can be used in quantum communications with some limitations. In this study, we numerically simulated this process using the time delay method and show how it can be implemented using two and four higher-dimensional quantum states, such as W or GHZ states. These numerical simulations are very illustrative of how the implementation proceeds.
