Given a correlation generated by a (possibly quantum) communication network, we study the amount of shared randomness required to generate it. We develop a novel upper bound for approximating distributions generated by arbitrary networks…

We consider the task of compression of information when the source of the information and the destination do not agree on the prior, i.e., the distribution from which the information is being generated. This setting was considered…

Lossy compression algorithms are typically designed and analyzed through the lens of Shannon's rate-distortion theory, where the goal is to achieve the lowest possible distortion (e.g., low MSE or high SSIM) at any given bit rate. However,…
