We give a simple and conceptual proof of the fact that random unitary channels yield violation of the Minimum Output Entropy additivity. The proof relies on strong convergence of random unitary matrices and Haagerup's inequality.
We find a strong-converse bound on the private capacity of a quantum channel assisted by unlimited two-way classical communication. The bound is based on the max-relative entropy of entanglement and its proof uses a new inequality for the…
In the problem of channel resolvability, where a given output probability distribution via a channel is approximated by transforming the uniform random numbers, characterizing the asymptotically minimum rate of the size of the random…
After recalling definition, monotonicity, concavity, and continuity of a channel's entropy with respect to a state (finite dimensional cases only), I introduce the roof property, a convex analytic tool, and show its use in treating an…
It is now well-known that, with high probability, the additivity of minimum output entropy does not hold for a pair of a random quantum channel and its complex conjugate. We investigate asymptotic behavior of output states of $r$-tensor…
We show that the uniform distribution minimizes entropy among all one-dimensional symmetric log-concave distributions with fixed variance, as well as various generalizations of this fact to R\'enyi entropies of orders less than 1 and with…
Inspired by Montanaro's work, we introduce the concept of additivity rates of a quantum channel $L$, which give the first order (linear) term of the minimum output $p$-R\'enyi entropies of $L^{\otimes r}$ as functions of $r$. We lower bound…
Several techniques of generating random quantum channels, which act on the set of $d$-dimensional quantum states, are investigated. We present three approaches to the problem of sampling of quantum channels and show under which conditions…
An expression is derived characterizing the set of admissible rate pairs for simultaneous transmission of classical and quantum information over a given quantum channel, generalizing both the classical and quantum capacities of the channel.…
The nonadditivity of channel capacity is a defining feature that distinguishes quantum communication from classical communication. In the quantum realm, the channel capacity is determined by coherent information, which is defined through…
We introduce an axiomatic approach for channel divergences and channel relative entropies that is based on three information-theoretic axioms of monotonicity under superchannels (i.e. generalized data processing inequality), additivity…
We prove multiplicativity of maximal output $p$ norm of classical noise channels and thermal noise channels of arbitrary modes for all $p>1$ under the assumption that the input signal states are Gaussian states. As a direct consequence, we…
We analyze the quantum capacity of a unital quantum channel, using ideas from the proof of near-optimality of Petz recovery map [Barnum and Knill 2000] and give an upper bound on the quantum capacity in terms of regularized output $2$-norm…
Recently Hastings proved the existence of random unitary channels which violate the additivity conjecture. In this paper we use Hastings' method to derive new bounds for the entanglement of random subspaces of bipartite systems. As an…
In this work, we study two different approaches to defining the entropy of a quantum channel. One of these is based on the von Neumann entropy of the corresponding Choi-Jamio{\l}kowski state. The second one is based on the relative entropy…
In this paper, we study the behaviour of the output of pure entangled states after being transformed by a product of conjugate random unitary channels. This study is motivated by the counterexamples by Hastings and Hayden-Winter to the…
The additivity of the minimal output entropy and that of the $\chi$-capacity are known to be equivalent for finite-dimensional irreducibly covariant channels. In this paper we formulate a list of conditions allowing to establish similar…
Every channel can be expressed as a convex combination of deterministic channels with each deterministic channel corresponding to one particular intrinsic state. Such convex combinations are in general not unique, each giving rise to a…
Classical communication capacity of a channel can be enhanced either through a device called a 'quantum switch' or by putting the channel in a quantum superposition. The gains in the two cases, although different, have their origin in the…
The Amosov-Holevo-Werner conjecture implies the additivity of the minimum Re'nyi entropies at the output of a channel. The conjecture is proven true for all Re'nyi entropies of integer order greater than two in a class of Gaussian bosonic…
