In this work, we show that the sample complexity required in quantum learning theory within a general parametric framework, is fundamentally governed by the inverse Fisher information matrix. More specifically, we derive upper and lower…

We revisit the well-studied problem of estimating the Shannon entropy of a probability distribution, now given access to a probability-revealing conditional sampling oracle. In this model, the oracle takes as input the representation of a…

The relative entropy is a principal measure of distinguishability in quantum information theory, with its most important property being that it is non-increasing with respect to noisy quantum operations. Here, we establish a remainder term…

The paper is focused on the tradeoff between performance and decoding complexity per iteration for LDPC codes in terms of their gap (in rate) to capacity. The study of this tradeoff is done via information-theoretic bounds which also enable…

We study the problem of identifying correlations in multivariate data, under information constraints: Either on the amount of memory that can be used by the algorithm, or the amount of communication when the data is distributed across…

In this work private information retrieval (PIR) codes are studied. In a $k$-PIR code, $s$ information bits are encoded in such a way that every information bit has $k$ mutually disjoint recovery sets. The main problem under this paradigm…
