Achieving the Holevo bound via sequential measurements

We present a decoding procedure to transmit classical information in a quantum channel which, saturating asymptotically the Holevo bound, achieves the optimal rate of the communication line. In contrast to previous proposals, it is based on performing a sequence of projective yes-no measurements whi...
