Description
Qudit-into-oscillator code whose codewords can succinctly be expressed as superpositions of a countable set of coherent states that is called a constellation. Some useful constellations form a group (see gkp, cat or \(2T\)-qutrit codes) while others make up a Gaussian quadrature rule [1,2].
Rate
Coherent-state constellation codes consisting of points from a Gaussian quadrature rule can be concatenated with quantum polar codes to achieve the Gaussian coherent information of the thermal noise channel [1,2].

- Concatenated bosonic code — Coherent-state constellation codes consisting of points from a Gaussian quadrature rule can be concatenated with quantum polar codes to achieve the Gaussian coherent information of the thermal noise channel [1,2].
- Design — Coherent-state constellation codes consisting of points from a Gaussian quadrature rule can be concatenated with quantum polar codes to achieve the Gaussian coherent information of the thermal noise channel [1,2].
- Modulation scheme — Coherent-state constellation codes are quantum versions of modulation schemes in that their codewords are superpositions of points in a constellation. Additionally, analog codes that achieve AGWN capacity [5] can be used to develop capacity-achieving concatenations of coherent-state constellation codes with quantum polar codes [1,2].
- Coherent-state c-q code — Coherent-state c-q codes encode classical alphabets into constellations of coherent states, while coherent-state constellation codes encode quantum information into superpositions of coherent states.
