Abstract
An experimental demonstration of a quantum optimal receiver for optical binary signals, developed as a joint effort by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology, is described in this article. A brief summary of the classical, quantum optimal, and quantum near-optimal solutions for detecting binary signals is first presented. The components and experimental setup used to implement the receivers are then discussed. Experimental performance and results for both optimal and near-optimal receivers are presented and compared to theoretical limits. Finally, experimental shortcomings are discussed along with possible solutions and future direction.
