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 is devoted to systematic study of properties of the quantum entropy and of the Holevo capacity considered as a function of a set of quantum states. The properties of restriction of the quantum entropy to arbitrary set of states…
Quantum capacities are fundamental quantities that are notoriously hard to compute and can exhibit surprising properties such as superadditivity. Thus, a vast amount of literature is devoted to finding tight and computable bounds on these…
We show that the minimum von-Neumann entropy output of a quantum channel is locally additive. Hasting's counterexample for the additivity conjecture, makes this result quite surprising. In particular, it indicates that the non-additivity of…
We study private quantum channels on a single qubit, which encrypt given set of plaintext states $P$. Specifically, we determine all achievable states $\rho^{(0)}$ (average output of encryption) and for each particular set $P$ we determine…
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 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].…
Given a classical channel---a stochastic map from inputs to outputs---the input can often be transformed to an intermediate variable that is informationally smaller than the input. The new channel accurately simulates the original but at a…
