The capacity region of the two-user Gaussian Interference Channel (IC) is studied. Three classes of channels are considered: weak, one-sided, and mixed Gaussian IC. For the weak Gaussian IC, a new outer bound on the capacity region is…

Numerous quantum many-body systems are characterized by either fundamental or emergent constraints---such as gauge symmetries or parity superselection for fermions---which effectively limit the accessible observables and realizable…

We present a new family of information-theoretic generalization bounds within the framework of conditional mutual information (CMI). Most of our results are established based on the leave-$m$-out (L$m$O) cross-validation error, with $m$…

It is well known that the mutual information between two random variables can be expressed as the difference of two relative entropies that depend on an auxiliary distribution, a relation sometimes referred to as the golden formula. This…

The fully quantum reverse Shannon theorem establishes the optimal rate of noiseless classical communication required for simulating the action of many instances of a noisy quantum channel on an arbitrary input state, while also allowing for…

We consider a molecular channel, in which messages are encoded to the frequency of objects in a pool, and whose output during reading time is a noisy version of the input frequencies, as obtained by sampling with replacement from the pool.…

In this work, we propose a PAC-Bayes bound for the generalization risk of the Gibbs classifier in the multi-class classification framework. The novelty of our work is the critical use of the confusion matrix of a classifier as an error…

The existing upper and lower bounds between entropy and error probability are mostly derived from the inequality of the entropy relations, which could introduce approximations into the analysis. We derive analytical bounds based on the…

We work out a theory of approximate quantum error correction that allows us to derive a general lower bound for the entanglement fidelity of a quantum code. The lower bound is given in terms of Kraus operators of the quantum noise. This…

We analyse families of codes for classical data transmission over quantum channels that have both a vanishing probability of error and a code rate approaching capacity as the code length increases. To characterise the fundamental tradeoff…
