Quantum communication systems exploit the quantum features of light to enhance the reliability of a classically described communication system. This paper proposes the use of photon-added coherent states (PACSs), instead of coherent states, for quantum pulse position modulation (PPM) systems. PACSs are the most simple example of non-classical non-Gaussian states of light, as they can not be described by the classical laws of physics. We show that employing PACS in a PPM communication system improves the reliability of the communication with respect to using a coherent state with the same energy.

Abstract
Quantum communication systems exploit the quantum features of light to enhance the reliability of a classically described communication system. This paper proposes the use of photon-added coherent states (PACSs), instead of coherent states, for quantum pulse position modulation (PPM) systems. PACSs are the most simple example of non-classical non-Gaussian states of light, as they can not be described by the classical laws of physics. We show that employing PACS in a PPM communication system improves the reliability of the communication with respect to using a coherent state with the same energy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
