Physical realizations of the canonical phase measurement for the optical phase are
unknown. Single-shot phase estimation, which aims to determine the phase of an optical …

We propose a hybrid feed-forward receiver (HFFRE) for the discrimination of binary phase-
shift-keyed coherent states based on the appropriate combination of a displacement feed …

We address a continuous-variable quantum key distribution protocol employing quaternary
phase-shift-keying of coherent states and a non-Gaussian measurement inspired by …

The achievable rate of information transfer in optical communications is determined by the
physical properties of the communication channel, such as the intrinsic channel noise …

The discrimination of two nonorthogonal states is a fundamental element for secure and
efficient communication. Quantum measurements of nonorthogonal coherent states can …

Quantum enhanced receivers are endowed with resources to achieve higher sensitivities
than conventional technologies. For application in optical communications, they provide …

We propose a near-optimum receiver for the discrimination of binary phase-shift-keyed
coherent states employing photon-number-resolving detectors. The receiver exploits a …

Quantum state discrimination is a central problem in quantum measurement theory, with
applications spanning from quantum communication to computation. Typical measurement …

Nonequilibrium states of quantum systems in contact with thermal baths help distinguishing
between environments with different temperatures or different statistics. We extend these …
