Atmospheric Turbulence-Aware Optimization of Generalized Kennedy Receivers for Coherent-State BPSK Quantum Communication
arXiv:2609.05471
Abstract
We investigate generalized Kennedy receivers for coherent-state BPSK communication over turbulent free-space optical channels. An ergodic mutual-information framework is developed to jointly optimize the receiver displacement and input prior probabilities under Gamma--Gamma fading.
