A rate-distortion problem motivated by the consideration of semantic information is formulated and solved. The starting point is to model an information source as a pair consisting of an intrinsic state which is not observable,…

Long-distance optical quantum channels are necessarily lossy, leading to errors in transmitted quantum information, entanglement degradation and, ultimately, poor protocol performance. Quantum states carrying information in the channel can…

We characterize the rate-distortion function for zero-mean stationary Gaussian sources under the MSE fidelity criterion and subject to the additional constraint that the distortion is uncorrelated to the input. The solution is given by two…

Rate distortion theory treats the problem of encoding a source with minimum codebook size while at the same time allowing for a certain amount of errors in the reconstruction measured by a fidelity criterion and distortion level. Similar to…

We derive a lower bound on the differential entropy of a log-concave random variable $X$ in terms of the $p$-th absolute moment of $X$. The new bound leads to a reverse entropy power inequality with an explicit constant, and to new bounds…
