Composite Classical and Quantum Channel Discrimination

Bjarne Bergh, Nilanjana Datta, Salzmann, Robert

We study the problem of binary composite channel discrimination in the asymmetric setting, where the hypotheses are given by fairly arbitrary sets of channels, and samples do not have to be identically distributed. In the case of quantum channels we prove: (i) a characterization of the Stein exponent for parallel channel discrimination strategies and (ii) an upper bound on the Stein exponent for adaptive channel discrimination strategies. We further show that already for classical channels this upper bound can sometimes be achieved and be strictly larger than what is possible with parallel strategies. Hence, there can be an advantage of adaptive channel discrimination strategies with composite hypotheses for classical channels, unlike in the case of simple hypotheses. Moreover, we show that classically this advantage can only exist if the sets of channels corresponding to the hypotheses are non-convex. As a consequence of our more general treatment, which is not limited to the composite i.i.d. setting, we also obtain a generalization of previous composite state discrimination results.

Influence of Composite Effect from Quantum Channels on Entanglement

Juju Hu, Shuai Li

The dynamics of entanglement between two qubits in the local damping two-sided channel and single-sided channel are compared through non-Markovian process and Markovian process. The entanglement between two qubits is found to be longer in the single-sided channel case due to the weakening of the dissipative effects. In the two-sided channel, influenced by the entanglement between qubits, the previous independent dissipative channels incline to the composite effect of the Markovian process. This composite effect results in the dissipative effect of one channel affecting the qubits in the other channel, especially inhibiting the backflow effect in the non-Markovian channel, which is disadvantageous to the entanglement maintenance between qubits. In the Markovian channel, the composite effect of the damping two-sided channels is more obvious since there is no backflow effect, thus more disadvantageous to the entanglement maintenance.

Generating Quantum Channels

Renat Nelsonovich Gumerov, Ruslan Linarovich Khazhin

Abstract For composite quantum systems, we consider quantum channels that uniquely determine the channels of the subsystems. Such channels of composite systems are called generating channels. Examples of generating channels are given by tensor products of two quantum channels of subsystems and their convex combinations. The paper deals with the properties of generating channels. In particular, we show that these channels form a convex compact set in the norm topology. We prove a criterion for a quantum channel to be generating. For composite systems consisting of two qubits, we construct generating phase-damping channels. For subsystems, these channels generate both phase-damping channels and depolarizing channels. Examples of nongenerating phase-damping channels are also presented.
