Quantumized Microwave Detection Based on $Λ$-Type Three-level Superconducting System: HMM Modeling and Performance Prediction
We adopt artificial $\Lambda$-type three-level system with superconducting devices for microwave signal detection, where the signal intensity reaches the level of discrete photons instead of continuous waveform. Based on the state transition principles of the three-level system, we propose a statistical model for microwave signal detection. Moreover, we investigate the achievable transmission rate and signal detection based on the statistical model. It is predicted that the proposed detection can achieve significantly higher sensitivity compared with the currently deployed 4G/5G communication system. We further characterize the received signal considering the saturation phonomenon, which reveals negligible performance degradation caused by saturation under weak received power regime.
