Abstract: Basing on recently developed convex programming framework in the paper [arXiv:2204.10626], we provide a proof for a long-standing conjecture on optimality of Gaussian encondings for the ultimate communication rate of generalized heterodyne receivers under the oscillator energy constraint. Our results generalize previous ones (obtained under the assumption of validity of the energy threshold condition) and show a drastic difference in the structure of the optimal encoding within and beyond this condition. The core of the proof in the case beyond the threshold is a new log-Sobolev type inequality, which relates the generalized Wehrl entropy with the wavefunction gradient.
