Classical Communications with Indefinite Causal Order for $N$ completely depolarizing channels

Quantum Physics 2021-06-23 v2

Abstract

If two identical copies of a completely depolarizing channel are put into a superposition of their possible causal orders, they can transmit non-zero classical information. Here, we study how well we can transmit classical information with NN depolarizing channels put in superposition of MM causal orders via quantum SWITCH. We calculate Holevo quantity if the superposition uses only cyclic permutations of channels and find that it increases with MM and it is independent of NN. For a qubit it never reaches 11 if we are increasing MM. On the other hand, the classical capacity decreases with the dimension dd of the message system. Further, for N=3N=3 and N=4N=4 we studied superposition of all causal orders and uniformly superposed causal orders belonging to different cosets created by cyclic permutation subgroup.
