Generation and manipulation of squeezed states of light in optical networks for quantum communication and computation
Maxim Raginsky, Prem Kumar · Journal of Optics B Quantum and Semiclassical Optics · 2001
We analyse a fiber-optic component which could have multiple uses in novel information processing systems utilizing squeezed states of light. Our approach is based on the phenomenon of photon-number squeezing of soliton noise after the soliton has propagated through a nonlinear optical fiber. Application of this component in optical networks for quantum computation and quantum cryptography are discussed.
