Welcome to 6.453, Quantum Optical Communication. It is one of a collection of MIT classes that deals with aspects of an emerging field known as quantum information science. As you can divine from its title, 6.453 is about quantum communication, rather than quantum computation, although both of these topics fall under the general rubric of quantum information science. Moreover, 6.453 is far from...

Today we move on to the final section of material on quantum optical communication: the full multi-temporal mode treatments of electromagnetic field quantization, photodetection theory, nonlinear optics, non-classical light generation, and quantum interference. Because our prerequisite subjects—6.011 and 18.06—do not include enough background for these topics, we’ll tread gently. Hence there wi...

In this lecture will continue our quantum-mechanical treatment of linear attenuators and linear amplifiers. Among other things, we will distinguish between phaseinsensitive and phase-sensitive amplifiers. We will also show that the attenuator and the phase-insensitive amplifier preserve classicality, i.e., their outputs are classical states when their inputs are classical states. Finally, we wi...

In this lecture we will examine the first commercial application of quantum optical communication: quantum cryptography. We’ll start with a purely classical case, and show that a one-time pad provides totally secure digital communication. The difficulty of creating a shared one-time pad between remote sites will then lead us into quantum cryptography, or, more properly, quantum key distribution...

Today we begin a two-lecture treatment of semiclassical versus quantum photodetection theory in a continuous-time setting. We’ll build these theories in a slightly simplified framework, i.e., scalar fields with no (x, y) dependence illuminating the active region of a photodetection that lies within a region A of area A in a constant-z These scalar fields may be regarded as being linearly polari...
