Noiseless quantum amplifiers are probabilistic quantum devices that enhance amplitude of coherent states without adding any noise, which has far reaching applications in quantum optics and quantum information processing. Here, we report on…

Biological measurements are often contaminated with large amounts of non-stationary noise which require effective noise reduction techniques. We present a new real-time deep learning algorithm which produces adaptively a signal opposing the…

The observation that PT-symmetric Hamiltonians can have real-valued energy levels even if they are non-Hermitian has triggered intense activities, with experiments, in particular, focusing on optical systems, where Hermiticity can be broken…

A class of optimal quantum repeaters for qubits is suggested. The schemes are minimal, i.e. involve a single additional probe qubit, and optimal, i.e. provide the maximum information adding the minimum amount of noise. Information gain and…

In the last years the exploitation of specific properties of quantum states has disclosed the possibility of realising tasks beyond classical limits, creating the new field of quantum technologies [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. Among them,…

We study the quantum noise in the harmonic mode of a singly resonant frequency doubler simultaneously driven in both modes. This simple extension of the frequency doubler greatly improves its performance as a bright squeezed light source.…

The use of quantum annealers in black-box optimization to obtain the desired properties of a product with a small number of trials has attracted attention. However, the application of this technique to engineering design problems is still…

We consider quantum metrology in noisy environments, where the effect of noise and decoherence limits the achievable gain in precision by quantum entanglement. We show that by using tools from quantum error-correction this limitation can be…

Parametric amplifiers have allowed breakthroughs in ultrafast, strong-field, and high-energy density laser science and are an essential tool for extending the frequency range of powerful emerging diode-pumped solid-state laser technology.…

We aim to clarify the role that absorption plays in nonlinear optical processes in a variety of metallic nanostructures and show how it relates to emission and conversion efficiency. We define a figure of merit that establishes the…

Amplitude amplification provides a quadratic speed-up for an array of quantum algorithms when run on a quantum machine perfectly isolated from its environment. However, the advantage is substantially diminished as the NISQ-era quantum…

The contrast of an image can be degraded by the presence of background light and sensor noise. To overcome this degradation, quantum illumination protocols have been theorised (Science 321 (2008), Physics Review Letters 101 (2008)) that…

This paper introduces a quantum-inspired denoising framework that integrates the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) into classical audio enhancement pipelines. Unlike conventional Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) based methods, QFT provides a…

We derive the ultimate bounds on the performance of nonlinear measurement schemes in the presence of noise. In particular, we investigate the precision of the second-order estimation scheme in the presence of the two most detrimental types…

State-of-the-art physics experiments require high-resolution, low-noise, and low-threshold detectors to achieve competitive scientific results. However, experimental environments invariably introduce sources of noise, such as electrical…

The use of distributed amplifiers may have some potential advantages for the transmission of quantum information through optical fibers. In addition to the quantum noise introduced by the amplifiers, entanglement between atoms in the…

We propose a novel scheme of feed-forward control and its reversal for protecting quantum state against decoherence. Before the noise channel our pre-weak measurement and feed-forward are just to change the protected state into the state…

The use of quantum scissors, as candidates for non-deterministic amplifiers, in continuous-variable quantum key distribution systems is investigated. Such devices rely on single-photon sources for their operation and as such, they do not…

Noise in optical Telecom fibers is an important limitation on optical quantum data transmission. Unfortunately, the classically successful amplifiers (such as EDFA) cannot be used in quantum communication because of the no-cloning theorem.…

We employ transformation optics to optimize the generic nonlinear wave interaction of second-harmonic generation from a pair of touching metallic wires. We demonstrate a 10 orders of magnitude increase in the second-harmonic scattering…
