Abstract
This paper is concerned with the problem of finding the structure and performance of the receiver that yields the best performance in the reception of signals that are described quantum-mechanically. The principles of statistical detection and estimation theory are discussed, with the laws of quantum mechanics taken into account. Several specific communication systems of practical interest are studied as examples of applying these principles. Basic concepts in quantum mechanics that are needed in these discussions are briefly reviewed.Keywords
