We addressed the question of optimality of private quantum channels. We have shown that the Shannon entropy of the classical key necessary to securely transfer the quantum information is lower bounded by the entropy exchange of the private…

Quantum channels can be described via a unitary coupling of system and environment, followed by a trace over the environment state space. Taking the trace instead over the system state space produces a different mapping which we call the…

For a given quantum state $\rho$ and two quantum operations $\Phi$ and $\Psi$, the information encoded in the quantum state $\rho$ is quantified by its von Neumann entropy $\S(\rho)$. By the famous Choi-Jamio{\l}kowski isomorphism, the…

Invariance entropy is a measure for the smallest data rate in a noiseless digital channel above which a controller that only receives state information through this channel is able to render a given subset of the state space invariant. In…
