Abstract
The procedure of quantum measurement—unambiguous discrimination—of four two-mode coherent states of the optical field which are of interest for information transmission by the optical communication channel is studied. It is shown that complex conjugation of the amplitude of one of the modes leads to better discriminability between the states. An interferometric scheme for unambiguous discrimination between such states is proposed and the probability of successful discrimination is found. Applications of the considered set of states in quantum cryptography, quantum teleportation, and optical communication with a high level of losses are discussed.
