We establish the classical capacity of optical quantum channels as a sharp transition between two regimes---one which is an error-free regime for communication rates below the capacity, and the other in which the probability of correctly…

The data transfer capacity of a communication channel is limited by the Shannon-Hartley theorem and scales as $\text{log}_2(1 + \text{SNR})$ for a single channel with the power signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We implement an array of…
