After realising qutrit in the form of bipartite system we estimate from below the entropy gain under the action of the amplitude damping channel.
An example is given of a qubit quantum channel which requires four inputs to maximize the Holevo capacity. The example is one of a family of channels which are related to 3-state channels. The capacity of the product channel is studied and…
Single-qubit channels are studied under two broad classes: amplitude damping channels and generalized depolarizing channels. A canonical derivation of the Kraus representation of the former, via the Choi isomorphism is presented for the…
We consider the additivity of the minimal output entropy and the classical information capacity of a class of quantum channels. For this class of channels the norm of the output is maximized for the output being a normalized projection. We…
The quantum capacity of a quantum channel captures its capability for noiseless quantum communication. It lies at the heart of quantum information theory. Unfortunately, our poor understanding of nonadditivity of coherent information makes…
We obtain two new additivity results of quantum channels. The first one is the additivity of the channel R\'enyi information associated with the sandwiched R\'enyi divergence of order $\alpha\in[\frac{1}{2},1)$. To prove this, we introduce…
Quantum channels can be described via a unitary coupling of system and environment, followed by a trace over the environment state space. Taking the trace instead over the system state space produces a different mapping which we call the…
We prove multiplicativity of maximal output $p$ norm of classical noise channels and thermal noise channels of arbitrary modes for all $p>1$ under the assumption that the input signal states are Gaussian states. As a direct consequence, we…
We study the Landau--Streater quantum channel $\Phi: \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}_d) \mapsto \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}_d)$, whose Kraus operators are proportional to the irreducible unitary representation of $SU(2)$ generators of dimension $d$. We…
In this Letter, two counterexamples show that the superadditivity inequality of relative entropy is not true even for the full-ranked quantum states. Thus, an inequality of quantum channels and complementary channels is not also true.…
Quantum channel capacities give the fundamental performance limits for information flow over a communication channel. However, the prevalence of superadditivity is a major obstacle to understanding capacities, both quantitatively and…
We consider various forms of a process, which we call {\em gluing}, for combining two or more complementary quantum channel pairs $(\mathcal{B},\mathcal{C})$ to form a composite. One type of gluing combines a perfect channel with a second…
Quantum communication and computation heavily rely on entanglement distillation protocols. There is a plethora of distillation protocols for Pauli channels and also for some non-Pauli channels. However, an effort to relate the effectiveness…
Additivity of quantum communication channel is discussed in terms of Poisson process to show it is additive in probability. Poisson process is shown to be responsible for entanglement which is a rare event.
The noisiness of a channel can be measured by comparing suitable functionals of the input and output distributions. For instance, the worst-case ratio of output relative entropy to input relative entropy for all possible pairs of input…
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…
Quantum channels depending on a number of classical control parameters are considered. Assuming the stochastic fluctuations of the control parameters in the small errors limit it is shown that the channel fidelity is equal to the average…
We present an upper bound for the quantum channel capacity that is both additive and convex. Our bound can be interpreted as the capacity of a channel for high-fidelity quantum communication when assisted by a family of channels that have…
It is well-known that the action of a quantum channel on a state can be represented, using an auxiliary space, as the partial trace of an associated bipartite state. Recently, it was observed that for the bipartite state associated with the…
We study encodings that give the best known thresholds for the non-zero capacity of quantum channels, i.e., the upper bound for correctable noise, using an entropic approach to calculation of the threshold values. Our results show that…
