We prove a one-shot "minimax" converse bound for quantum channel coding assisted by positive partial transpose channels between sender and receiver. The bound is similar in spirit to the converse by Polyanskiy, Poor, and Verdu [IEEE Trans.…

We study joint source-channel coding over Markov channels through the empirical coordination framework. More specifically, we aim at determining the empirical distributions of source and channel symbols that can be induced by a coding…

In the distributed remote (CEO) source coding problem, many separate encoders observe independently noisy copies of an underlying source. The rate loss is the difference between the rate required in this distributed setting and the rate…

In this paper, we study the finite blocklength limits of state-dependent discrete memoryless channels where the discrete memoryless state is known noncausally at the encoder. For the point-to-point case, this is known as the…

We study information-theoretic security for discrete memoryless interference and broadcast channels with independent confidential messages sent to two receivers. Confidential messages are transmitted to their respective receivers with…

Gaussian channels with memory and with noiseless feedback have been widely studied in the information theory literature. However, a coding scheme to achieve the feedback capacity is not available. In this paper, a coding scheme is proposed…

In this paper we study the two player randomized communication complexity of the sparse set disjointness and the exists-equal problems and give matching lower and upper bounds (up to constant factors) for any number of rounds for both of…

In this paper, we revisit two multi-terminal lossy source coding problems: the lossy source coding problem with side information available at the encoder and one of the two decoders, which we term as the Kaspi problem (Kaspi, 1994), and the…

We study a lossy source coding problem for a memoryless remote source. The source data is broadcast over an arbitrarily varying channel (AVC) controlled by an adversary. One output of the AVC is received as input at the encoder, and another…

In analogy with its classical counterpart, a noisy quantum channel is characterized by a loss, a quantity that depends on the channel input and the quantum operation performed by the channel. The loss reflects the transmission quality: if…

We consider a 1-to-$K$ communication scenario, where a source transmits private messages to $K$ receivers through a broadcast erasure channel, and the receivers feed back strictly causally and publicly their channel states after each…

We study the rate-cost tradeoff in rate-limited control of general stochastic control systems, including nonlinear systems, over a finite horizon. At each time step, an encoder observes the state and transmits a description to a controller,…

We consider minimum time multicasting problems in directed and undirected graphs: given a root node and a subset of $t$ terminal nodes, multicasting seeks to find the minimum number of rounds within which all terminals can be informed with…

We continue the study of the communication complexity of gap cycle counting problems. These problems have been introduced by Verbin and Yu [SODA 2011] and have found numerous applications in proving streaming lower bounds. In the noisy gap…
