We consider quantum-memory assisted protocols for discriminating quantum channels. We show that for optimal discrimination of memory channels, memory assisted protocols are needed. This leads to a new notion of distance for channels with…

We consider the depolarizing channel in $d$ dimension defined as $D_x(\rho)=(1-x)\rho+x\: \textit{tr}({\rho}) \frac{I}{d}$, and explicitly find a quantum channel ${\cal N}_x$ which anti-degrades this, when $x\geq\frac{1}{2}$. This proves…
