Abstract
Quantum-optical receivers to discriminate non-orthogonal states are important tools for both quantum and optical communications as well as for quantum sensing. We discuss some implementation strategies of quantum receivers based on photon counting with and without classical feedback. Particularly, for communication scenarios, we introduce a reliability function and its cut-off rate as figures of merit. Interestingly, a variety of quantum measurements can attain the maximum cut-off rate while some of them are not optimal from the viewpoints of average error probability or mutual information.
