Capacity of a memoryless quantum communication channel
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a proper framework of coding problems for a quantum memoryless channel and derive an asymptotic formula for the channel capacity, based upon the philosophy that any information theory shall be constructed in terms of observable quantities. Some general lower and upper bounds for the quantum channel capacity are also derived.

Gaussian Z Channel with Intersymbol Interference
In this paper, we derive a capacity inner bound for a synchronous Gaussian Z channel with intersymbol interference (ISI) under input power constraints. This is done by converting the original channel model into an n-block memoryless circular Gaussian Z channel (n-CGZC) and successively decomposing the n-block memoryless channel into a series of independent parallel channels in the frequency dom...
متن کاملOn Quantum Capacity of Compound Channels
In this paper we address the issue of universal or robust communication over quantum channels. Specifically, we consider memoryless communication scenario with channel uncertainty which is an analog of compound channel in classical information theory. We determine the quantum capacity of finite compound channels and arbitrary compound channels with informed decoder. Our approach in the finite c...
متن کاملSome Effects of Classical Feedback on the Classical Capacity of a Memoryless Quantum Channel
Classical feedback is defined here as the knowledge by the transmitter of the quantum state of the qubit received by the receiver. Such classical feedback doubles capacities of certain memoryless quantum channels without preexisting entanglement between transmitter and receiver. The increase in capacity, which is absent on classical memoryless channels, occurs because we can transform an entang...
متن کاملInformation-theoretic aspects of optical communications
This dissertation studies several information-theoretic aspects of optical communications. The first aspect it studies is the one-shot classical capacity of a quantum communication channel. It proves new upper and lower bounds on the amount of classical information that can be transmitted through a single use of a quantum channel, under a constraint on the average error probability. The bounds ...
متن کاملPolarization of Multi-Relay Channels: A Suitable Method for DF and CF Relaying with Orthogonal Receiver
Polar codes, that have been recently introduced by Arikan, are one of the first codes that achieved the capacity for vast numerous channels and they also have low complexity in symmetric memoryless channels. Polar codes are constructed based on a phenomenon called channel polarization. This paper discusses relay channel polarization in order to achieve the capacity and show that if inputs of tw...
