33. P D is the quantum efficiency (QE) of photodiode, and V is the visibility of interference. Thus the crucial imperfection of homodyne detection is the QE of the photodiode. Although the QE is just 0.84 in the experiment of Ref., the QE of Hamamatsu's new product can approach 0.9 (see the website of Hamamatsu: [http://jp.hamamatsu.com/products/ sensor-ssd/pd128/pd129/pd130/G8370-81/index-en.html]). Further-more, κ is determined by the excess noise of the signal and the phase error, but to the best of our knowledge, we find only one experimental result where κ = 1.1, which is given by Ref. However, it does not matter theoretically, Eve can make a perfect homodyne detection with λ = κ = 1.
