The von Neumann entropy and the subentropy of a mixed quantum state are upper and lower bounds, respectively, on the accessible information of any ensemble consistent with the given mixed state. Here we define and investigate a set of…

The nonadditivity of channel capacity is a defining feature that distinguishes quantum communication from classical communication. In the quantum realm, the channel capacity is determined by coherent information, which is defined through…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the output states of sequences of quantum channels. Under a natural assumption, we show that the output set converges to a compact convex set, clarifying and substantially generalizing results in [BCN13].…

An essential quantity in quantum information theory is the von Neumann entropy which depends entirely on the quantum density operator. Once known, the density operator reveals the statistics of observables in a quantum process, and the…

Sending quantum information reliably over long distances is a central challenge in quantum technology in general, and in quantum optics in particular, since most quantum communication relies on optical fibres or free-space links. Here, we…

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 prove that the classical capacity of an arbitrary quantum channel assisted by a free classical feedback channel is bounded from above by the maximum average output entropy of the quantum channel. As a consequence of this bound, we…

We prove that a general upper bound on the maximal mutual information of quantum channels is saturated in the case of Pauli channels with an arbitrary degree of memory. For a subset of such channels we explicitly identify the optimal signal…

We establish a tight upper bound for the difference in von Neumann entropies between two quantum states, $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$. This bound is expressed in terms of the von Neumann entropies of the mutually orthogonal states derived from the…

Channel-state duality is a central result in quantum information science. It refers to the correspondence between a dynamical process (quantum channel) and a static quantum state in an enlarged Hilbert space. Since the corresponding dual…
