Abstract

In order to make a unified treatment for estimation problems of a very small noise or a very weak signal in a quantum process, we introduce the notion of a low-noise quantum channel with one noise parameter. It is known in several examples that prior entanglement together with nonlocal output measurement improves the performance of the channel estimation. In this paper, we study this 'ancilla-assisted enhancement' for estimation of the noise parameter in a general low-noise channel. For channels on two level systems we prove that the enhancement factor, the ratio of the Fisher information of the ancilla-assisted estimation to that of the original one, is always upper bounded by 3/2. Some conditions for the attainability are also given with illustrative example000.

Invariance of the bit error rate in the ancilla-assisted homodyne detection

Yoshida, Yuhsuke ; Takeoka, Masahiro ; Sasaki, Masahide - Physical Review. A

We investigate the minimum achievable bit error rate of the discrimination of binary coherent states with the help of arbitrary ancillary states. We adopt homodyne measurement with a common phase of the local oscillator and classical feedforward control. After one ancillary state is measured, its outcome is referred to the preparation of the next ancillary state and the tuning of the next mixing with the signal. It is shown that the minimum bit error rate of the system is invariant under the following operations: feedforward control, deformations, and introduction of any ancillary state. We also discuss the possible generalization ofmore » the homodyne detection scheme.« less

Ancilla-assisted sequential approximation of nonlocal unitary operations

Saberi, Hamed ; Physics Department, Arnold Sommerfeld Center for Theoretical Physics, and Center for NanoScience, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet, Theresienstrasse 37, D-80333 Munich ; Department of Physics, Shahid Beheshti University, General Campus, Evin, Tehran 19839 - Physical Review. A

We consider the recently proposed (no-go) theorem of Lamata et al.[Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 180506 (2008)] on the impossibility of sequential implementation of global unitary operations with the aid of an itinerant ancillary system and view the claim within the language of Kraus representation. By virtue of an extremely useful tool for analyzing entanglement properties of quantum operations, namely, operator-Schmidt decomposition, we provide alternative proof to the no-go theorem and also study the role of initial correlations between the qubits and ancilla in sequential preparation of unitary entanglers. Despite the negative response from the no-go theorem, we demonstrate explicitly howmore »« less

Accurate Measurement of Noise Parameters in Ultra-Low Noise Opto-Feedback Spectrometer Systems

Llacer, Jorge - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

The accurate measurement of the basic noise parameters of ultra-low noise spectrometer systems has been developed in the frequency domain by spectrum analysis. This method overcomes some of the difficulties experienced in using conventional techniques. An analytic and experimental comparison between ''time'' and frequency domain techniques is carried out and the use of the latter as a method to develop extremely low-noise detector and FET packages is demonstrated. The origin of the remaining noise in high quality systems is traced to surface and gate junction generation through traps in the FET. (auth)

Low-frequency noise characteristics of channel substrate planar GaAlAs laser diodes

Miles, R.O. ; Dandridge, A. ; Tveten, A.B. ; ... - Appl. Phys. Lett.; (United States)

The influence of external feedback on low-frequency noise generation (100 Hz--10 kHz) in single longitudinal and transverse mode channel substrate planar laser diodes is reported. An increase in noise by as much as 60 dB was induced by external feedback as small as 0.04%. The induced intensity variations were observed to be sensitive to both phase and amplitude of the externally reflected light.

A high-speed, low-noise CMOS 16-channel charge-sensitivepreamplifier ASIC for APD-based PET detectors

Weng, M. ; Mandelli, E. ; Moses, W.W. ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

A high-speed, low-noise 16-channel amplifier IC has beenfabricated in the HP 0.5 mm CMOS process. It is a prototype for use witha PET detector which uses a 4x4 avalanche photodiode (APD) array having 3pF of capacitance and 75 nA of leakage current per pixel. Thepreamplifier must have a fast rise time (a few ns) in order to generatean accurate timing signal, low noise in order to accurately measure theenergy of the incident gamma radiation, and high density in order to readout 2-D arrays of small (2 mm) pixels. A single channel consists of acharge-sensitive preamplifier followed by a pad-driving buffer.more »« less
