Amplified entanglement-assisted communication systems operated in a desert environment and strong atmospheric turbulence regime

Abstract: In this paper, we are presenting results that go against the common belief that entanglement is destroyed by the amplification using an EDFA. Here we demonstrate the quantum advantage of entanglement-assisted communication at 10Gb/s, employing LDPC-coded BPSK, over classical laser communication even after the amplification of signal photons is performed by the EDFA in order to improve the reliability of entanglement-assisted (EA) communication operating in turbulent 1.5 km terrestrial FSO channels. To make the EA system more robust against various atmospheric effects such as scattering, absorption, and turbulence effects we perform the optical phase-conjugation on idler photons rather than turbulence-affected signal photons and use adaptive optics to make additional improvements in terms of the bit-error rate.
