Abstract
We introduce a minimax approach for characterizing the capacities of fully quantum arbitrarily varying channels (FQAVCs) under different shared resource models. In contrast to previous methods, our technique avoids de Finetti-type reductions, providing a more streamlined proof without dependency on the dimension of the jamming system. Consequently, we show that the entanglement-assisted and shared-randomness-assisted capacities of FQAVCs match those of the corresponding compound channels, even in the presence of general quantum adversaries.
