    To improve the reception performance of weak quadrature phase-shift keying(QPSK)modulated signals and surpass the standard quantum limit(SQL), this paper proposes a photon-number-resolving(PNR)quantum-enhanced receiver scheme based on a fiber storage ring. By integrating single-photon detectors(SPDs)with a fiber storage ring structure, the scheme achieves efficient photon-number-resolving capability. Adaptive feedback control and Bayesian probability updates dynamically optimize the displacement operator, significantly reducing system complexity and implementation costs. Simulation results demonstrate that when the average photon number |α|2≥1.5, the symbol error rate of this scheme breaks the SQL, showing approximately a 10% reduction compared to traditional SPD schemes. Particularly under weak coherent states(|α|2<2), the storage ring structure exhibits higher measurement accuracy and lower error rate.
