We use temperature tuning to control signal propagation in simple one-dimensional arrays of masses connected by hard anharmonic springs and with no local potentials. In our numerical model a sustained signal is applied at one site of a…
We develop a model for a noisy communication channel in which the noise affecting consecutive transmissions is correlated. This model is motivated by fluctuating birefringence of fiber optic links. We analyze the role of entanglement of the…
The capacity of additive Gaussian noise (AGN) channels, $Y_t=X_t+V_t, t=1, \ldots, n$, $\frac{1}{n} {\bf E}\big\{\sum_{t=1}^n |X_t|^2 \big\}\leq \kappa, \kappa \in [0,\infty)$, with time-invariant channel input feedback strategies, is…

We consider the problem of trying to send a single classical bit through a noisy quantum channel when two transmissions through the channel are available as a resource. Classically, two transmissions add nothing to the receiver's capability…

The entanglement-assisted classical capacity of a noisy quantum channel is the amount of information per channel use that can be sent over the channel in the limit of many uses of the channel, assuming that the sender and receiver have…
In this paper, the capacity of continuous-space electromagnetic channels, where transceivers are confined in given lossy regions, is analyzed. First of all, the regions confining the transceivers are assumed to be filled with dielectric,…
We introduce a new form for the bosonic channel minimal output entropy conjecture, namely that among states with equal input entropy, the thermal states are the ones that have slightest increase in entropy when sent through a infinitesimal…
The qubit depolarizing channel with noise parameter $\eta$ transmits an input qubit perfectly with probability $1-\eta$, and outputs the completely mixed state with probability $\eta$. We show that its complementary channel has positive…
Channel capacities quantify the optimal rates of sending information reliably over noisy channels. Usually, the study of capacities assumes that the circuits which sender and receiver use for encoding and decoding consist of perfectly…
Channel sensing consists of probing the channel from time to time to check whether or not it is active - say, because of an incoming message. When communication is sparse with information being sent once in a long while, channel sensing…
The additivity problem asks if the use of entanglement can boost the information-carrying capacity of a given channel beyond what is achievable by coding with simple product states only. This has recently been shown not to be the case for…
We propose a new simple way to evaluate the effect of anharmonicity on a system's thermodynamic functions such as heat capacity. In this approach, the contribution of all potentially complicated anharmonic effects to constant-volume heat…
The underwater acoustic channel is characterized by a path loss that depends not only on the transmission distance, but also on the signal frequency. As a consequence, transmission bandwidth depends on the transmission distance, a feature…
We address the classical capacity of a quantum bosonic memory channel with additive noise, subject to an input energy constraint. The memory is modeled by correlated noise emerging from a Gauss-Markov process. Under reasonable assumptions,…
