Seminar

Stochastic Resonance in Quantum Communication Systems

Mark M. Wilde
University of Southern California

We discuss three models where a stochastic resonance noise benefit occurs in quantum communication. The first model is a quantum-optical system that employs quantum squeezing and thresholds a continuous quantum variable with homodyne detection. We prove a quantum forbidden-interval theorem that gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a noise benefit in the quantum-optical system. We then show how noise improves fidelity in a modified quantum teleportation protocol and prove a similar forbidden-interval theorem for this scenario. The last model gives a noise benefit in continuous-variable superdense coding and shows how entanglement plays a role in the noise benefit.
