  • Abstract
    A theory of symmetric phase shift keying is developed using quantum mechanics. The minimum average probability of error is then determined for phase-shift-keyed optical communication systems which use physical states. It is shown that this minimum error is achieved by using states which are represented in the number state basis by discrete prolate spheroidal sequences
