Quantum Rotation Diversity in Displaced Squeezed Binary Phase-Shift Keying

TL;DR
This work tackles the reliability of quantum optical communications over Gamma-Gamma fading while preserving throughput by introducing quantum rotation diversity (QRD). QRD rotates pairs of consecutive BPSK-displaced squeezed states across two time slots and jointly detects with a maximum-likelihood receiver, achieving diversity gains without sacrificing spectral efficiency. At high photon numbers, the scheme delivers a diversity order of $d=4g$ (with $g=\min\{\epsilon,\zeta\}$) when $r>0$, and exhibits a super-diversity effect as displacement and squeezing scale with the total photon number $N$, yielding improved error performance compared to a no-rotation baseline. Numerical results validate the theory, showing substantial SER improvements and confirming the optimality of the rotation angle $\theta^{\star}=\tfrac{1}{2}\arctan(2)$ and energy split $\beta^{\star}=\tfrac{1}{2}$ in the asymptotic regime.
Abstract
We propose a quantum rotation diversity (QRD) scheme for optical quantum communication using binary phase-shift-keying displaced squeezed states and homodyne detection over Gamma-Gamma turbulence channels. Consecutive temporal modes are coupled by a passive orthogonal rotation that redistributes the displacement amplitude between slots, yielding a diversity order of two under independent fading and joint maximum-likelihood detection. Analytical expressions for the symbol-error rate performance, along with asymptotic results for the diversity and coding gains, are derived. The optimal rotation angle and energy allocation between displacement and squeezing are obtained in closed form. Furthermore, we show that when both the displacement amplitude and the squeezing strength scale with the total photon number, an effective diversity order of four is achieved. Numerical results validate the analysis and demonstrate the super-diversity behaviour of the proposed QRD scheme.
