A beam emitted by a displaced thermal source, incident on a beam splitter, is used as the source in a central broadcast quantum key distribution protocol. These displaced thermal states have parallels to signals produced through phase-shift…

An $n$-dimensional source with memory is observed by $K$ isolated encoders via parallel channels, who compress their observations to transmit to the decoder via noiseless rate-constrained links while leveraging their memory of the past. At…

It has recently been shown that all causal correlations between two parties which output each one bit, a and b, when receiving each one bit, x and y, can be expressed as convex combinations of local correlations (i.e., correlations that can…

We study the role of interaction in the Common Randomness Generation (CRG) and Secret Key Generation (SKG) problems. In the CRG problem, two players, Alice and Bob, respectively get samples $X_1,X_2,\dots$ and $Y_1,Y_2,\dots$ with the pairs…

We study the problem of simulating a two-user multiple-access channel (MAC) over a multiple access network of noiseless links. Two encoders observe independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) copies of a source random variable each,…

We propose a new shaping scheme for the Gaussian channel whose complexity is approximately half the one of a binary distribution matcher (DM). The result is obtained as follows: We first show that most of the shaping gain can be obtained…

Alice and Bob receive a bipartite state (possibly entangled) from some finite collection or from some subspace. Alice sends a message to Bob through a noisy quantum channel such that Bob may determine the initial state, with zero chance of…

We consider the distributed source coding system for $L$ correlated Gaussian observations $Y_i, i=1,2, ..., L$. Let $X_i,i=1,2, ..., L$ be $L$ correlated Gaussian random variables and $N_i,$ $i=1,2,... L$ be independent additive Gaussian…
