We consider the problem of discriminating quantum states, where the task is to distinguish two different quantum states with a complete classical knowledge about them, and the problem of classifying quantum states, where the task is to distinguish two classes of quantum states where no prior classical information is available but a finite number of physical copies of each classes are given. In the case the quantum states are represented by coherent states of light, we identify intermediate scenarios where partial prior information is available. We evaluate an analytical expression for the minimum error when the quantum states are opposite and a prior on the amplitudes is known. Such a threshold is attained by complex POVM that involve highly non-linear optical procedure. A suboptimal procedure that can be implemented with current technology is presented that is based on a modification of the conventional Dolinar receiver. We study and compare the performance of the scheme under different assumptions on the prior information available.
We experimentally investigate a strategy to discriminate between quaternary phase-shift keyed coherent states based on single-shot measurements that is compatible with high-bandwidth communications. We extend previous theoretical work in single-shot
In this survey, various generalisations of Glauber-Sudarshan coherent states are described in a unified way, with their statistical properties and their possible role in non-standard quantisations of the classical electromagnetic field. Some statisti
The most efficient modern optical communication is known as coherent communication and its standard quantum limit (SQL) is almost reachable with current technology. Though it has been predicted for a long time that this SQL could be overcome via quan
We present a method that outputs a sequence of simple unitary operations to prepare a given quantum state that is a generalized coherent state. Our method takes as inputs the expectation values of some relevant observables on the state to be prepared
Generalized coherent states are developed for SU(n) systems for arbitrary $n$. This is done by first iteratively determining explicit representations for the SU(n) coherent states, and then determining parametric representations useful for applicatio
