• Abstract summary: Superadditivity -- a higher communication rate than that achievable by any physically realizable symbol-by-symbol optical detection -- is a special case of the celebrated nonlocality without entanglement. We build this receiver and show that its capacity surpasses that of all practical symbol-by-symbol receivers in the low-received-photon-flux regime.

• Abstract: Achieving the ultimate Holevo limit of optical communications capacity requires a joint-detection receiver: a device that makes a collective quantum measurement over multiple modulated symbols. Such superadditivity -- a higher communication rate than that achievable by any physically realizable symbol-by-symbol optical detection -- is a special case of the celebrated nonlocality without entanglement and has yet to be demonstrated in practice. In this article, we propose a practical design of the Green Machine -- a joint-detection receiver that can attain superadditive capacity with a binary-phase-shift-keying (BPSK) modulated Hadamard code. We build this receiver and show that its capacity surpasses that of all practical symbol-by-symbol receivers in the low-received-photon-flux regime after backing out losses within our receiver. Our Green Machine receiver not only reduces the transmitter peak power requirement compared with the pulse-position modulation (the conventional modulation format used for deep space laser communications), but we show that its self-referenced phase also makes it more immune to phase noise, e.g., atmospheric turbulence or platform vibrations, by orders of magnitude compared with other BPSK-compatible receivers.

  coherent transceivers use phase- and amplitude-modulated optical signals to encode more bits of information per transmitted pulse. Such encoding schemes achieve higher information density, but also require more complicated receivers to discriminate the signaling states. We describe how optomechanical transduction of phase information from coherent optical pulses to superconducting qubit states can perform joint detection of communication codewords with error probabilities that surpass all classical, individual pulse detection receivers.
