    "abstract": "Several proposed techniques for distinguishing between optical coherent\nstates are analyzed under a physically realistic model of photodetection.\nQuantum error probabilities are derived for the Kennedy receiver, the Dolinar\nreceiver and the unitary rotation scheme proposed by Sasaki and Hirota for\nsub-unity detector efficiency. Monte carlo simulations are performed to assess\nthe effects of detector dark counts, dead time, signal processing bandwidth and\nphase noise in the communication channel. The feedback strategy employed by the\nDolinar receiver is found to achieve the Helstrom bound for sub-unity detection\nefficiency and to provide robustness to these other detector imperfections\nmaking it more attractive for laboratory implementation than previously\nbelieved.",
