We investigate the optimal tradeoff between information gained about an unknown coherent state and the state disturbance caused by the measurement process. We propose several optical schemes that can enable this task, and we implement one of them, a scheme which relies on only linear optics and homodyne detection. Experimentally we reach near optimal performance, limited only by detection inefficiencies. In addition we show that such a scheme can be used to enhance the transmission fidelity of a class of noisy channels.
We report an experimental investigation of the role of measurement in quantum metrology when the states of the probes are mixed. In particular, we investigated optimized local measurements and general global projective measurements, involving entangl
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a universal quantum averaging process implementing the harmonic mean of quadrature variances. The harmonic mean protocol can be used to efficiently stabilize a set of fragile squeezed light sources with stati
Quantum digital signature (QDS) guarantee the unforgeability, nonrepudiation and transferability of signature messages with information-theoretical security, and hence has attracted much attention recently. However, most previous implementations of Q
We propose and experimentally demonstrate an optimal non-unity gain Gaussian scheme for partial measurement of an unknown coherent state that causes minimal disturbance of the state. The information gain and the state disturbance are quantified by th
The uncertainty principle states that a measurement inevitably disturbs the system, while it is often supposed that a quantum system is not disturbed without state change. Korzekwa, Jennings, and Rudolph [Phys. Rev. A 89, 052108 (2014)] pointed out a
