Quantum enhancement of spoofing detection with squeezed states of light

Abstract

We employ quantum state discrimination theory to establish the ultimate limit for spoofing detection in electromagnetic signals encoded with random quantum states. Our analysis yields an analytical expression for the optimal bound, which we prove can be achieved using a pair of coherent states. Notably, the quantum enhancement persists regardless of photon number, thereby removing the previous constraint to single-photon sources. This breakthrough unlocks new experimental possibilities using standard laser sources. Furthermore, we explore the encoding of squeezed states and demonstrate that the detection probability approaches 100% when the spoofer's capability is restricted to coherent state generation.
