Abstract:
The proof is given that the capacity of the Gaussian approximate
measurement of the position (as well as the position-momentum) with an
energy constraint is always achieved using Gaussian encoding. The proof
is based on the general principles of convex analysis. It is noteworthy
that for these basic models, the method reduces the solution of the
optimization problem to a generalization of the famous logarithmic
Sobolev inequality. We hope that this method should work for other
models that go beyond the "threshold condition", in which the upper
limit of capacity in the form of the difference between the maximum and
minimum output entropies is achievable.
