摘要：
我们研究了由Holmes、Weaver和Palmer提出的ELROI信标概念的量子极限。在该概念中，卫星持续发射微弱的光学信号以广播其身份。通过对Shannon、Gordon和Holevo引入的通信基本极限的分析，我们证明在此类场景中，将量子技术纳入地面站设计可显著提升性能。具体而言，在天气条件阻碍信号的情况下，读取信标信号从而识别卫星所需的时间（Time-To-Read）大幅缩短，使得卫星可用于后续网络操作的有效时间窗口（Active Time Window）延长了近20倍。在此特定案例中，所采用的量子技术概念是所谓的联合检测接收机（Joint Detector Receiver），该系统旨在通过对输入信号序列执行联合量子操作来达到Gordon-Holevo极限。
英文摘要：
We study the quantum limits of the ELROI beacon concept introduced by Holmes, Weaver, and Palmer. In this concept, a satellite continuously emits a weak optical signal to broadcast its identity. Via analysis of the fundamental limits on communication introduced by Shannon, Gordon, and Holevo, we demonstrate that in such scenarios, incorporating quantum technology into the design of a ground station significantly enhances performance. Specifically, the Time-To-Read the beacon signal and thereby identify the satellite is greatly reduced in situations where weather conditions obstruct the signal, allowing the Active Time Window, during which the satellite can be utilized for subsequent network operations, to be extended by nearly a factor of 20. In this particular case, the quantum technology concept that is employed is the so-called Joint Detector Receiver, which is a system aiming to operate at the Gordon-Holevo limit by performing joint quantum operations on sequences of incoming signals.
