Nonlinear interference is modeled by a time-varying conditionally Gaussian channel. It is shown that approximating this channel with a time-invariant channel imposes considerable loss in the performance of channel decoding. An adaptive…
In two-way channels, each user transmits and receives at the same time. This allows each encoder to interactively adapt the current input to its own message and all previously received signals. Such coding approach can introduce correlation…
In this paper, we developed new coding strategies for the Z-channel. In particular, we look at the case with two-stage encoding. In this case, the encoder uses noiseless feedback once and adjusts the further encoding strategy based on the…
By exploiting a generalization of recent results on environment-assisted channel correction, we show that, whenever a quantum system undergoes a channel realized as an interaction with a probe, the more efficiently the information about the…
Quantum channels can represent dynamic resources, which are indispensable elements in many physical scenarios. To describe certain facets of nonclassicality of the channels, it is necessary to quantify their properties. In the framework of…
