We pose a problem called ``broadcasting Holevo-information'': given an unknown state taken from an ensemble, the task is to generate a bipartite state transfering as much Holevo-information to each copy as possible. We argue that upper…

In quantum metrology, information about unknown parameters $\mathbf{\theta} = (\theta_1,\ldots,\theta_M)$ is accessed by measuring probe states $\hat{\rho}_{\mathbf{\theta}}$. In experimental settings where copies of…

Channel capacities quantify the optimal rates of sending information reliably over noisy channels. Usually, the study of capacities assumes that the circuits which sender and receiver use for encoding and decoding consist of perfectly…
