Quantum superchannels are maps whose input and output are quantum channels. Rather than taking the domain to be the space of all linear maps we motivate and define superchannels on the operator system spanned by quantum channels. Extension…

The coexistence of quantum and classical signals over the same optical fiber with minimal degradation of the transmitted quantum information is critical for operating large-scale quantum networks over the existing communications…

In this survey article we give basic introduction to the theory of quantum families of maps. We begin with a general look at non-commutative (or "quantum") topology. Then we formulate all our results in this language. Existence of quantum…

Quantum channels can be mathematically represented as completely positive trace-preserving maps that act on a density matrix. A general quantum channel can be written as a convex sum of `extremal' channels. We show that for an $N$-level…

Distributed quantum information in networks is paramount for global secure quantum communication. Moreover, it finds applications as a resource for relevant tasks, such as clock synchronization, magnetic field sensing, and blind quantum…

The quantum channel-state duality permits the characterization of a quantum process through a quantum state, referred to as a Choi state. This characteristic serves as the impetus for the quantum computing paradigm that utilizes Choi states…

We obtain two new additivity results of quantum channels. The first one is the additivity of the channel R\'enyi information associated with the sandwiched R\'enyi divergence of order $\alpha\in[\frac{1}{2},1)$. To prove this, we introduce…
