Abstract

This paper presents some examples of quantum reliability function for the quantum communication system in which classical information is transmitted by quantum states. In addition, the quantum Cut off rate is defined. They will be compared with Gallager's reliability function for the same system.

On Reliability Function of Quantum Communication Channel

M. V. Burnashev, Alexander Semenovich Holevo

The reliability function gives the rate of exponential convergence to zero of the error probability in a communication channel. In this paper bounds for the reliability function of a quantum pure state channel are given, reminiscent of the corresponding classical bounds. This in particular suggests an alternative proof of the coding theorem for quantum noiseless channel, which would make no use of the notion of typical subspace. Example of binary quantum channel is considered in some detail.

Reliability Function of Classical-Quantum Channels

Ke Li, Dong Yang

We study the reliability function of general classical-quantum channels, which describes the optimal exponent of the decay of decoding error when the communication rate is below the capacity. As the main result, we prove a lower bound, in terms of the quantum Rényi information in Petz's form, for the reliability function. This resolves Holevo's conjecture proposed in 2000, a long-standing open problem in quantum information theory. It turns out that the obtained lower bound matches the upper bound derived by Dalai in 2013, when the communication rate is above a critical value. Thus, we have determined the reliability function in this high-rate case. Our approach relies on Renes' breakthrough made in 2022, which relates classical-quantum channel coding to that of privacy amplification, as well as our new characterization of the channel Rényi information.

Cut-off rate performance of quantum communication channels with symmetric signal states

Masashi Ban, Keiko Kurokawa, Osamu Hirota

The cut-off rate performance of quantum communication channels is considered when the signal quantum states are pure and symmetric. The properties of the quantum cut-off rate which is obtained by the entangled measurement of the received signal are investigated for communication channels in which the symmetric quantum states are both linearly independent and linearly dependent. It is found that the quantum cut-off rate becomes independent of the number of the signal quantum states when they are linearly dependent. Furthermore the properties of the semiclassical cut-off rate which is obtained by the disentangled measurement of the received signal are considered. The necessary and sufficient condition for the positive operator-valued measure of the disentangled measurement to maximize the semiclassical cut-off rate is derived. For binary quantum communication channels with pure signal states, the several parameters, such as the channel capacity and the cut-off rate, which characterize the quantum communication channel are compared.

Cut-off rate analysis of practical quantum receivers

Masahiro Takeoka, Kenji Tsujino, Masahide Sasaki

Quantum communication with binary nonorthogonal pure states and single-shot measurements are discussed in terms of reliability function and cut-off rate. It is shown that some of different measurement strategies simultaneously attain the maximum single-shot cut-off rate. We also apply these measurements to the BPSK optical coherent states and compare them with the homodyne detection. Numerical results show that even including realistic imperfections, it is possible to exceed the homodyne limited cut-off rate.

Cut-off rate for quantum communication channels with entangled measurement

Masashi Ban, Keiko Kurokawa, Osamu Hirota

The cut-off rate is obtained for quantum communication channels in which entangled measurement is performed on received signals. The quantum correlation induced by the entangled measurement gives a cut-off rate larger than that obtained by quantum measurement without entanglement. The cut-off rate is calculated for some quantum communication channels and its properties are investigated in detail.
