Concurrence and further entanglement quantifyers can be computed explicitly for channels of rank two if representable by just two Kraus operators. Almost all details are available for the subclass of rank two 1-qubit-channels. There is a…
Let $\rho_1, \rho_2$ be quantum states and $(\rho_1,\rho_2) \mapsto D(\rho_1, \rho_2)$ be a scalar function such as the trace norm, the fidelity, and the relative entropy, etc. We determine optimal bounds for $D(\rho_1, \Phi(\rho_2))$ for…
Quantum capacity, as the ultimate transmission rate of quantum communication, is characterized by regularized coherent information. In this work, we reformulate approximations of the quantum capacity by operator space norms and give both…
Quantum states of light are the obvious choice for communicating quantum information. To date, encoding information into the polarisation states of single photons has been widely used as these states form an natural closed two state qubit.…
The capacity of a channel with an energy-harvesting (EH) encoder and a finite battery remains an open problem, even in the noiseless case. A key instance of this scenario is the binary EH channel (BEHC), where the encoder has a unit-sized…
The study of quantum channels is the fundamental field and promises wide range of applications, because any physical process can be represented as a quantum channel transforming an initial state into a final state. Inspired by the method…
The minimum entropy output is computed for rotationally invariant quantum channels acting on spin-1/2 and spin-1 systems. For the case of two parallel such channels and initial entangled (singlet) state the entropy of the output is higher…
Based on the resource theory for quantifying the coherence of quantum channels, we introduce a new coherence quantifier for quantum channels via maximum relative entropy. We prove that the maximum relative entropy for coherence of quantum…
Inspired by Montanaro's work, we introduce the concept of additivity rates of a quantum channel $L$, which give the first order (linear) term of the minimum output $p$-R\'enyi entropies of $L^{\otimes r}$ as functions of $r$. We lower bound…
We study multi-qubit quantum channels that can be represented as a product of one-mode fermionic attenuation channels. An explicit formula for the classical capacity $C_1$ and for the minimum output entropy $S_{min}$ of these channels is…
Emergence of objective, classical properties in quantum systems can be described in the modern language of quantum information theory. In this work, we present an example of such an analysis. We apply the quantum channel theory to a…
We investigate the Weyl channels being covariant with respect to the maximum commutative group of unitary operators. This class includes the quantum depolarizing channel and the "two-Pauli" channel as well. Then, we show that our estimation…
In this paper we find, for a class of bipartite quantum states, a nontrivial lower bound on the entropy gain resulting from the action of a tensor product of identity channel with an arbitrary channel. By means of that we then estimate…
The von Neumann entropy of a quantum state is a central concept in physics and information theory, having a number of compelling physical interpretations. There is a certain perspective that the most fundamental notion in quantum mechanics…
We show the equivalence of two different notions of quantum channel capacity: that which uses the entanglement fidelity as its criterion of success in transmission, and that which uses the minimum fidelity of pure states in a subspace of…
Understanding quantum channels and the strange behavior of their capacities is a key objective of quantum information theory. Here we study a remarkably simple, low-dimensional, single-parameter family of quantum channels with exotic…
The class of quantum states known as Werner states have several interesting properties, which often serve to illuminate unusual properties of quantum information. Closely related to these states are the Holevo-Werner channels whose Choi…
We consider communication between two parties using a bipartite quantum operation, which constitutes the most general quantum mechanical model of two-party communication. We primarily focus on the simultaneous forward and backward…
We introduce a class of quantum channels with correlations acting on pairs of qubits, where the correlation takes the form of a shift operator onto a maximally entangled state. We optimise the output purity and show that below a certain…
This paper provides a characterization for the set of antidegradable qubit channels. The characterization arises from the correspondence between the antidegradability of a channel and the symmetric extendibility of its Choi operator. Using…
