For anyone who is interested in the ultimate limits to communications the seminal paper by Jim Gordon is quite easy to understand even without a physics degree (unlike the Holevo paper IMO). He was incredibly good at writing in an accessible manner (apart from probably being the person who most deserved a Nobel prize but didn't get it). https://doi.org/10.1109%2FJRPROC.1962.288169 https://doi.org/10.1109%2FJRPROC.1962.288169
