Entanglement-enhanced information transmission over a quantum channel with correlated noise

Abstract

We show that entanglement is a useful resource to enhance the mutual information of the depolarizing channel when the noise on consecutive uses of the channel has some partial correlations. We obtain a threshold in the degree of memory above which a higher amount of classical information is transmitted with entangled signals.

Entanglement-assisted Enhanced Information Transmission Over a Quantum Channel with Correlated Noise; A General Expression

A. Fahmi

Entanglement and entanglement-assisted are useful resources to enhance the mutual information of the Pauli channels, when the noise on consecutive uses of the channel has some partial correlations. In this paper, We study quantum communication channels with correlated noise and derive a general expression for the mutual information of quantum channel, for the product, maximally entangled state coding and entanglement-assisted systems with correlated noise in the Pauli quantum channels. Hence, we suggest more efficient coding in the entanglement-assisted systems for the transmission of classical information and derive a general expression for the entanglement-assisted classical capacity. Our results show that in the presence of memory, a higher amount of classical information is transmitted by two or four consecutive uses of entanglement-assisted systems.

Transition of d -level quantum systems through quantum channels with correlated noise

A. Fahmi, M. Golshani

Entanglement and entanglement assisted are useful resources to enhance the mutual information of the Pauli channels, when the noise on consecutive uses of the channel has some partial correlations. In this paper, we study quantum-communication channels in $d$-dimensional systems and derive the mutual information of the quantum channels for maximally entangled states and product states coding with correlated noise. Then, we compare fidelity between these states. Our results show that there exists a certain fidelity memory threshold, which depends on the dimension of the Hilbert space $(d)$ and the properties of noisy channels. We calculate the classical capacity of a particular correlated noisy channel and show that in order to achieve Holevo limit, we must use $d$ particles with $d$ degrees of freedom. Our results show that entanglement is a useful means to enhance the mutual information. We choose a special nonmaximally entangled state and show that in the quasiclassical depolarizing and quantum depolarizing channels, maximum classical capacity in the higher memory channels is given by the maximally entangled state. Hence, our results show that for high error channels in every degree of memory, maximally entangled states have better mutual information.

Entanglement-assisted classical capacity of quantum channels with correlated noise

Nigum Arshed, A. H. Toor

We calculate the entanglement-assisted classical capacity of symmetric and asymmetric Pauli channels where two consecutive uses of the channels are correlated. It is evident from our study that in the presence of memory, a higher amount of classical information is transmitted over quantum channels if there exists prior entanglement as compared to product and entangled state coding.

Entanglement-enhanced transmission of classical information in Pauli channels with memory: Exact solution

D. Daems

The amount of classical information that is reliably transmitted over two uses of general Pauli channels with memory, modeled as a correlated noise between a single pair of uses, is investigated. The maximum of the mutual information between the input and the output is proven to be achieved by a class of product states that is explicitly given in terms of the relevant channel parameters below some memory threshold, and by maximally entangled states above this threshold. In particular, this proves a conjecture on the depolarizing channel by Macchiavello and Palma [Phys. Rev. A 65, 050301(R) (2002)]. Furthermore, it also shows that no other scenario can occur for Pauli channels as for example the existence of an intermediate optimal degree of entanglement reported for some Gaussian channels with memory.

Entanglement-enhanced classical capacity of quantum communication channels with memory in arbitrary dimensions

Evgueni Karpov, D. Daems, Nicolas J. Cerf

We study the capacity of $d$-dimensional quantum channels with memory modeled by correlated noise. We show that, in agreement with previous results on Pauli qubit channels, there are situations where maximally entangled input states achieve higher values of mutual information than product states. Moreover, a strong dependence of this effect on the nature of the noise correlations as well as on the parity of the space dimension is found. We conjecture that when entanglement gives an advantage in terms of mutual information, maximally entangled states saturate the channel capacity.

Entanglement and optimal strings of qubits for memory channels

Vahid Karimipour, Laleh Memarzadeh

We investigate the problem of enhancement of mutual information by encoding classical data into entangled input states of arbitrary length and show that while there is a threshold memory or correlation parameter beyond which entangled states outperform the separable states, resulting in a higher mutual information, this memory threshold increases toward unity as the length of the string increases. These observations imply that encoding classical data into entangled states may not enhance the classical capacity of quantum channels.
