We derive a lower and upper bound on the reliability function of discrete memoryless multiple-access channel (MAC) with noiseless feedback and variable-length codes (VLCs). For the upper-bound, we use proof techniques of Burnashev for the…

Over any discrete memoryless channel, we build codes such that: for one, their block error probabilities and code rates scale like random codes'; and for two, their encoding and decoding complexities scale like polar codes'. Quantitatively,…

Feedback control actively dissipates uncertainty from a dynamical system by means of actuation. We develop a notion of "control capacity" that gives a fundamental limit (in bits) on the rate at which a controller can dissipate the…

Coding theorems in quantum Shannon theory express the ultimate rates at which a sender can transmit information over a noisy quantum channel. More often than not, the known formulas expressing these transmission rates are intractable,…

In this letter, we introduce the computational-limited (comp-limited) signals, a communication capacity regime in which the signal time computational complexity overhead is the key constraint -- rather than power or bandwidth -- to the…
