A Systems Theory Approach to the Synthesis of Minimum Noise Phase-Insensitive Quantum Amplifiers

Systems and Control 2018-02-13 v1

Abstract

We present a systems theory approach to the proof of a result bounding the required level of added quantum noise in a phase-insensitive quantum amplifier. We also present a synthesis procedure for constructing a quantum optical phase-insensitive quantum amplifier which adds the minimum level of quantum noise and achieves a required gain and bandwidth. This synthesis procedure is based on a singularly perturbed quantum system and leads to an amplifier involving two squeezers and two beamsplitters.
