Rate distortion theory is concerned with optimally encoding a given signal class $\mathcal{S}$ using a budget of $R$ bits, as $R\to\infty$. We say that $\mathcal{S}$ can be compressed at rate $s$ if we can achieve an error of…
It is shown that fully-parallel encoding and decoding schemes with asymptotic block error probability that scales as $O\left(f\left(n\right)\right)$ have Thompson energy that scales as $\Omega\left(\sqrt{\ln f\left(n\right)}n\right)$. As…
We consider a channel-independent decoder which is for i.i.d. random codes what the maximum mutual-information decoder is for constant composition codes. We show that this decoder results in exactly the same i.i.d. random coding error…

The statistical mechanics of simple glass forming systems in 2 dimensions is worked out. The glass disorder is encoded via a Voronoi tessellation, and the statistical mechanics is performed directly in this encoding. The theory provides,…
In continuation to an earlier work, where error exponents of typical random codes were studied in the context of general block coding, with no underlying structure, here we carry out a parallel study on typical random, time-varying trellis…
Consider the transmission of a polar code of block length $N$ and rate $R$ over a binary memoryless symmetric channel $W$ and let $P_e$ be the block error probability under successive cancellation decoding. In this paper, we develop new…
The decoding error probability of codes is studied as a function of their block length. It is shown that the existence of codes with a polynomially small decoding error probability implies the existence of codes with an exponentially small…
Decoy state protocols are a useful tool for many quantum key distribution systems implemented with weak coherent pulses, allowing significantly better secret bit rates and longer maximum distances. In this paper we present a method to…
