We axiomatically characterize the Tsallis entropy of a finite quantum system. In addition, we derive a continuity property of Tsallis entropy. This gives a generalization of the Fannes inequality.

Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications have stringent delay constraints, and hence use codes with small block length (short codewords). In these cases, classical models that provide good approximations to systems with infinitely long…

We introduce a class of bosonic quantum error-correcting codes, termed \emph{extended binomial codes}, which generalize the structure of one-mode binomial codes by incorporating ideas from high-rate qubit stabilizer codes. These codes are…

We derive a strengthened monotonicity inequality for quantum relative entropy by employing properties of $\alpha$-R\'{e}nyi relative entropy. We develop a unifying treatment towards the improvement of some quantum entropy inequalities. In…

A novel fountain coding scheme has been introduced. The scheme consists of a parallel concatenation of a MDS block code with a LRFC code, both constructed over the same field, $F_q$. The performance of the concatenated fountain coding…

The performance of an error correcting code is evaluated by its error probability, rate, and en/decoding complexity. The performance of a series of codes is evaluated by, as the block lengths approach infinity, whether their error…

We present a finite blocklength performance bound for a DNA storage channel with insertions, deletions, and substitutions. The considered bound -- the dependency testing (DT) bound, introduced by Polyanskiy et al. in 2010 -- provides an…

Frequent applications of a mixing quantum operation to a quantum system slow down its time evolution and eventually drive it into the invariant subspace of the named operation. We prove this phenomenon, the quantum Zeno effect, and its…

This correspondence studies an estimator of the conditional support of a distribution underlying a set of i.i.d. observations. The relation with mutual information is shown via an extension of Fano's theorem in combination with a…

For the sandwiched R\'enyi entropy the conditional entropy can be defined two ways: $\widetilde{H}^\downarrow_\alpha(A|B)_\rho, \widetilde{H}^\uparrow_\alpha(A|B)_\rho$. In the limiting case, $\alpha=1$, both definitions consolidate into…
