Capacity of Bosonic Gaussian Channels with Memory
Go to Notes
Abstract:
The bosonic quantum channels have recently attracted a growing interest, motivated by the hope that they open a tractable approach to the generally hard problem of evaluating quantum channel capacities. These studies, however, have always been restricted to memoryless channels. Here, it is shown that the classical information transmission rate of a bosonic Gaussian channel with memory can be significantly enhanced if entangled symbols are used instead of product symbols. For example, the capacity of a photonic channel with 70%-correlated thermal noise of 1/3 the shot noise is enhanced by about 11% when using 3.8-dB entangled light with a modulation variance equal to the shot noise.
