Abstract

Abstract We consider the notion of conditional entropy in hybrid (quantum-classical) systems and prove some of its properties. As an application we estimate the capacity of a measurement channel augmented by quantum feedback. We also refine the proof of the coding theorem for the entanglement-assisted classical capacity of the measurement channel with arbitrary output alphabet given in [1, 2].

Coding Theorems for Hybrid Channels

A. A. Kuznetsova, A. S. Holevo

The main result of this paper is the coding theorem for the entanglement-assisted capacity of measurement channel with arbitrary alphabet (Theorem \refcea). As a by-product, a number of results concerning entropies of hybrid (classical-quantum) systems are obtained, as well as the capacities of channels with hybrid output, which are used in the proof of Theorem 3.

Coding Theorems for Hybrid Channels. II

A. A. Kuznetsova, Alexander Semenovich Holevo

The present paper continues investigation of the capacities of measurement (quantum-classical) channels in the most general setting, initiated in [A. A. Kuznetsova and A. S. Holevo, Theory Probab. Appl., 58 (2014), pp. 264--285]. The proof of coding theorems is given for the classical capacity and entanglement-assisted classical capacity of the measurement channel with arbitrary output alphabet, without assuming that the channel is given by a bounded operator-valued density.

Strong Converse for the Feedback-Assisted Classical Capacity of Entanglement-Breaking Channels

Dawei Ding, Mark M. Wilde

Quantum entanglement can be used in a communication scheme to establish a correlation between successive channel inputs that is impossible by classical means. It is known that the classical capacity of quantum channels can be enhanced by such entangled encoding schemes, but this is not always the case. In this paper, we prove that a strong converse theorem holds for the classical capacity of an entanglement-breaking channel even when it is assisted by a classical feedback link from the receiver to the transmitter. In doing so, we identify a bound on the strong converse exponent, which determines the exponentially decaying rate at which the success probability tends to zero, for a sequence of codes with communication rate exceeding capacity. Proving a strong converse, along with an achievability theorem, shows that the classical capacity is a sharp boundary between reliable and unreliable communication regimes. One of the main tools in our proof is the sandwiched Rényi relative entropy. The same method of proof is used to derive an exponential bound on the success probability when communicating over an arbitrary quantum channel assisted by classical feedback, provided that the transmitter does not use entangled encoding schemes.

On classical capacities of infinite-dimensional quantum channels

Alexander Semenovich Holevo, Максим Евгеньевич Широков

A coding theorem for entanglement-assisted communication via an infinite-dimensional quantum channel with linear constraints is extended to a natural degree of generality. Relations between the entanglement-assisted classical capacity and χ-capacity of constrained channels are obtained, and conditions for their coincidence are given. Sufficient conditions for continuity of the entanglement-assisted classical capacity as a function of a channel are obtained. Some applications of the obtained results to analysis of Gaussian channels are considered. A general (continuous) version of the fundamental relation between coherent information and the measure of privacy of classical information transmission via an infinite-dimensional quantum channel is proved.

Entropy Bound for the Classical Capacity of a Quantum Channel Assisted by Classical Feedback

Dawei Ding, Yihui Quek, Peter W. Shor +1 more

We prove that the classical capacity of an arbitrary quantum channel assisted by a free classical feedback channel is bounded from above by the maximum average output entropy of the quantum channel. As a consequence of this bound, we conclude that a classical feedback channel does not improve the classical capacity of a quantum erasure channel, and by taking into account energy constraints, we conclude the same for a pure-loss bosonic channel. The method for establishing the aforementioned entropy bound involves identifying an information measure having two key properties: 1) it does not increase under a one-way local operations and classical communication channel from the receiver to the sender and 2) a quantum channel from sender to receiver cannot increase the information measure by more than the maximum output entropy of the channel. This information measure can be understood as the sum of two terms, with one corresponding to classical correlation and the other to entanglement.
