• Title: Bounding the quantum capacity with flagged extensions
• Authors: Farzad Kianvash, Marco Fanizza, Vittorio Giovannetti
• Abstract summary: We consider flagged extensions of convex combination of quantum channels, and find general sufficient conditions for the degradability of the flagged extension. An immediate application is a bound on the quantum $Q$ and private $P$ capacities of any channel being a mixture of a unitary map and another channel. We then specialize our sufficient conditions to flagged Pauli channels, obtaining a family of upper bounds on quantum and private capacities of Pauli channels.

• Abstract: In this article we consider flagged extensions of convex combination of quantum channels, and find general sufficient conditions for the degradability of the flagged extension. An immediate application is a bound on the quantum $Q$ and private $P$ capacities of any channel being a mixture of a unitary map and another channel, with the probability associated to the unitary component being larger than $1/2$. We then specialize our sufficient conditions to flagged Pauli channels, obtaining a family of upper bounds on quantum and private capacities of Pauli channels. In particular, we establish new state-of-the-art upper bounds on the quantum and private capacities of the depolarizing channel, BB84 channel and generalized amplitude damping channel. Moreover, the flagged construction can be naturally applied to tensor powers of channels with less restricting degradability conditions, suggesting that better upper bounds could be found by considering a larger number of channel uses.

  We propose a family of quantum maps that preserve or completely erase the components of a multi-qubit system. For the corresponding channels, it is shown that the preserved components can be interpreted as a finite vector subspace. We show that the obtained family of channels forms a semigroup and derive its generators.

For every quantum channel $T$ and every $eps>0$ there exists a threshold $p(epsilon,T)$ for the gate error probability below which rates larger than $C-epsilon$ are fault-tolerantly achievable. Our results are relevant in communication over large distances, and also on-chip, where distant parts of a quantum computer might need to communicate under higher levels of noise.
