متن کاملEffective quantum efficiency in the pulsed homodyne detection of a n-photon state
Homodyne detection can be used to perform measurements on various quantum states of the light, such as conditional single photon states produced by parametric fluorescence processes. In the pulsed regime, the time and frequency overlap between the single photon wave packet and the local oscillator field plays a crucial role. We show in this paper that this overlap can be characterized by an eff...
متن کاملHomodyne detection for measuring internal quantum correlations of optical pulses
A new method is described for determining the quantum correlations at different times in optical pulses by using balanced homodyne detection. The signal pulse and sequences of ultrashort test pulses are superimposed, where for chosen distances between the test pulses their relative phases and intensities are varied from measurement to measurement. The correlation statistics of the signal pulse ...
متن کاملSecret Key Generation and Eavesdropping detection using Quantum Cryptography
Quantum Cryptography is based upon the use of quantum effects and extends those effects for conventional cryptographic methods. The two major advantages of quantum cryptography over conventional cryptography are true random secret key generation and eavesdropping detection. Quantum cryptography has been developed which promises more secure communication than any existing technique and cannot be...
متن کاملQuantum control of atomic systems by homodyne detection and feedback
We investigate the possibilities of preserving and manipulating the coherence of atomic two-level systems by ideal projective homodyne detection and feedback. For this purpose, the photon emission process is described on time scales much shorter than the lifetime of the excited state using a model based on WignerWeisskopf theory. The backaction of this emission process is analytically described...
