We show that the full statistics of the two detectors outputs in a balanced homodyne detection setup involving a local oscillator in an ideal coherent state is experimentally accessible despite the excess noise existing in actual laser sources. This possibility is illustrated using phase randomized coherent states signals from which the statistics of Fock states can accurately be obtained. The experimental verification of the recently predicted [K{u}hn and Vogel, Phys. Rev. A, textbf{98}, 013832 (2018)] two-detector correlation probability for Fock states is presented for states $vert 1 rangle$ and $vert 2 rangle$.

We derive the full statistics of the product events in homodyne correlation measurements, involving a single mode signal, a local oscillator, a linear optical network, and two linear photodetectors. This is performed for the regime of high intensitie s impinging on the detectors. Our description incorporates earlier proposed homodyne correlation measurement schemes, such as the homodyne cross-correlation and homodyne intensity-correlation measurements. This analysis extends the amount of information retrieved from such types of measurements, since previously attention was paid only to the expectation value of the correlation statistics. As an example, we consider the correlation statistics of coherent, Gaussian, and Fock states. Moreover, nonclassical light is certified on the basis of the variance of the measurement outcome.
We report an experimental quantum key distribution that utilizes balanced homodyne detection, instead of photon counting, to detect weak pulses of coherent light. Although our scheme inherently has a finite error rate, it allows high-efficiency detec tion and quantum state measurement of the transmitted light using only conventional devices at room temperature. When the average photon number was 0.1, an error rate of 0.08 and effective quantum efficiency of 0.76 were obtained.
A quantum receiver is an essential element of quantum illumination (QI) which outperforms its classical counterpart, called classical-illumination (CI). However, there are only few proposals for realizable quantum receiver, which exploits nonlinear e ffects leading to increasing the complexity of receiver setups. To compensate this, in this article, we design a quantum receiver with linear optical elements for Gaussian QI. Rather than exploiting nonlinear effect, our receiver consists of a 50:50 beam splitter and homodyne detection. Using double homodyne detection after the 50:50 beam splitter, we analyze the performance of the QI in different regimes of target reflectivity, source power, and noise level. We show that our receiver has better signal-to-noise ratio and more robust against noise than the existing simple-structured receivers.
We suggest and demonstrate a scheme to reconstruct the symmetric two-mode squeezed thermal states of spectral sideband modes from an optical parametric oscillator. The method is based on a single homodyne detector and active stabilization of the cavi ty. The measurement scheme have been successfully tested on different two-mode squeezed thermal states, ranging from uncorrelated coherent states to entangled states.
We propose a feasible optical setup allowing for a loophole-free Bell test with efficient homodyne detection. A non-gaussian entangled state is generated from a two-mode squeezed vacuum by subtracting a single photon from each mode, using beamsplitte rs and standard low-efficiency single-photon detectors. A Bell violation exceeding 1% is achievable with 6-dB squeezed light and an homodyne efficiency around 95%. A detailed feasibility analysis, based upon the recent generation of single-mode non-gaussian states, confirms that this method opens a promising avenue towards a complete experimental Bell test.
