As a first step toward development of this system, we evaluated and considered the communication performance of the proposed receiver when applied to the AQC system using a two-mode squeezed vacuum state (TSVS), the maximum quasi-Bell state, and the non-maximum quasi-Bell state, along with an asymmetric classical communication (ACC) system using the coherent state. Specifically, we derived an analytical expression for the error probability of the AQC system using the quasi-Bell state. Comparison of the error probabilities of the ACC system and the AQC systems when using the TSVS and the quasi-Bell state shows that the AQC system using the quasi-Bell state offers a clear performance advantage under specific conditions. Additionally, it was clarified that there are cases where the universal lower bound on the error probability for the AQC system was almost achieved when using the quasi-Bell state, unlike the case in which the TSVS was used.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24050708","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,16]],"date-time":"2022-05-16T13:06:23Z","timestamp":1652706383000},"page":"708","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Error Performance of Amplitude Shift Keying-Type Asymmetric Quantum Communication Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7273-3607","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tiancheng","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering, Kanagawa University, Yokohama 221-8686, Kanagawa, Japan"},{"name":"Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Aichi Prefectural University, Nagakute 480-1198, Aichi, Japan"}]},{"given":"Tsuyoshi Sasaki","family":"Usuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Aichi Prefectural University, Nagakute 480-1198, Aichi, Japan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"777","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRev.47.777","article-title":"Can quantum-mechanical description of physical reality be considered complete?","volume":"47","author":"Einstein","year":"1935","journal-title":"Phys.
