Sequential projective measurements for channel decoding

Abstract

We study the transmission of classical information in quantum channels. We present a decoding procedure that is very simple but still achieves the channel capacity. It is used to give an alternative straightforward proof that the classical capacity is given by the regularized Holevo bound. This procedure uses only projective measurements and is based on successive "yes"/"no" tests only.

New version: two important typos corrected, other modifications to enhance the manuscript
