In the context of multiparameter quantum estimation theory, we investigate the construction of linear schemes in order to infer two classical parameters that are encoded in the quadratures of two quantum coherent states. The optimality of the scheme built on two phase-conjugate coherent states is proven with the saturation of the quantum Cramer--Rao bound under some global energy constraint. In a more general setting, we consider and analyze a variety of $n$-mode schemes that can be used to encode $n$ classical parameters into $n$ quantum coherent states and then estimate all parameters optimally and simultaneously.

We address the joint estimation of the two defining parameters of a displacement operation in phase space. In a measurement scheme based on a Gaussian probe field and two homodyne detectors, it is shown that both conjugated parameters can be measured
below the standard quantum limit when the probe field is entangled. We derive the most informative Cramer-Rao bound, providing the theoretical benchmark on the estimation and observe that our scheme is nearly optimal for a wide parameter range characterizing the probe field. We discuss the role of the entanglement as well as the relation between our measurement strategy and the generalized uncertainty relations.
Travelling modes of single-photon-added coherent states (SPACS) are characterized via optical homodyne tomography. Given a set of experimentally measured quadrature distributions, we estimate parameters of the state and also extract information about
the detector efficiency. The method used is a minimal distance estimation between theoretical and experimental quantities, which additionally allows to evaluate the precision of estimated parameters. Given experimental data, we also estimate the lower and upper bounds on fidelity. The results are believed to encourage preciser engineering and detection of SPACS.
Graph states are a central resource in measurement-based quantum information processing. In the photonic qubit architecture based on Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) encoding, the generation of high-fidelity graph states composed of realistic, finite-
energy approximate GKP-encoded qubits thus constitutes a key task. We consider the finite-energy approximation of GKP qubit states given by a coherent superposition of shifted finite-squeezed vacuum states, where the displacements are Gaussian distributed. We present an exact description of graph states composed of such approximate GKP qubits as a coherent superposition of a Gaussian ensemble of randomly displaced ideal GKP-qubit graph states. We determine the transformation rules for the covariance matrix and the mean displacement vector of the Gaussian distribution of the ensemble under tools such as GKP-Steane error correction and fusion operations that can be used to grow large, high-fidelity GKP-qubit graph states. The former captures the noise in the graph state due to the finite-energy approximation of GKP qubits, while the latter relates to the possible absolute displacement errors on the individual qubits due to the homodyne measurements that are a part of these tools. The rules thus help in pinning down an exact coherent error model for graph states generated from truly finite-energy GKP qubits, which can shed light on their error correction properties.
The optimal discrimination of non-orthogonal quantum states with minimum error probability is a fundamental task in quantum measurement theory as well as an important primitive in optical communication. In this work, we propose and experimentally rea
lize a new and simple quantum measurement strategy capable of discriminating two coherent states with smaller error probabilities than can be obtained using the standard measurement devices; the Kennedy receiver and the homodyne receiver.
We consider discrete-alphabet encoding schemes for coherent-state quantum key distribution. The sender encodes the letters of a finite-size alphabet into coherent states whose amplitudes are symmetrically distributed on a circle centered in the origi
n of the phase space. We study the asymptotic performance of this phase-encoded coherent-state protocol in direct and reverse reconciliation assuming both loss and thermal noise in the communication channel. In particular, we show that using just four phase-shifted coherent states is sufficient for generating secret key rates of the order of $4 times 10^{-3}$ bits per channel use at about 15 dB loss in the presence of realistic excess noise.
