The scalar additive Gaussian noise channel has the "single crossing point" property between the minimum-mean square error (MMSE) in the estimation of the input given the channel output, assuming a Gaussian input to the channel, and the MMSE…

The pure-loss channel is a fundamental model for describing noise in bosonic quantum platforms. It is characterised by a single parameter, the transmissivity, which quantifies the fraction of the input energy that reaches the output of the…

Multilayer (or deep) networks are powerful probabilistic models based on multiple stages of a linear transform followed by a non-linear (possibly random) function. In general, the linear transforms are defined by matrices and the non-linear…

We consider the feedback capacity of a MIMO channel whose channel output is given by a linear state-space model driven by the channel inputs and a Gaussian process. The generality of our state-space model subsumes all previous studied…
