• Authors: Satvik Singh, Nilanjana Datta,
• Abstract summary: A noisy quantum channel can be used to reliably transmit quantum information at a non-zero rate. This is because it requires computation of the channel's coherent information for an unbounded number of copies of the channel. We show that a channel's ability to transmit information is intimately connected to the relative sizes of its input, output, and environment spaces.

• Abstract: Determining whether a noisy quantum channel can be used to reliably transmit quantum information at a non-zero rate is a challenging problem in quantum information theory. This is because it requires computation of the channel's coherent information for an unbounded number of copies of the channel. In this paper, we devise an elementary perturbative technique to solve this problem in a wide variety of circumstances. Our analysis reveals that a channel's ability to transmit information is intimately connected to the relative sizes of its input, output, and environment spaces. We exploit this link to develop easy tests which can be used to detect positivity of quantum channel capacities simply by comparing the channels' input, output, and environment dimensions. Several noteworthy examples, such as the depolarizing and transpose-depolarizing channels (including the Werner-Holevo channel), dephasing channels, generalized Pauli channels, multi-level amplitude damping channels, and (conjugate) diagonal unitary covariant channels, serve to aptly exhibit the utility of our method. Notably, in all these examples, the coherent information of a single copy of the channel turns out to be positive.

  We study the resolvability of classical-quantum channels in two settings, for the channel output generated from the worst input, and form the fixed independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) input. For the fixed-input setting, while the direct part follows from the known quantum soft covering result, we exploit the recent alternative quantum Sanov theorem to solve the strong converse.

• Quantum channels that destroy negative conditional entropy [0.0]
  This article delves deeply into quantum channels, emphasizing negative conditional entropy breaking channels (NCEB) and introducing negative conditional entropy annihilating channels (NCEA) We characterize these channels from both topological and information-theoretic perspectives, examining their properties when combined serially and NCEB in parallel. We lay prescriptions to detect channels that do not break the negativity of conditional entropy, ensuring the conservation of this quantum resource.

  We study how the gain in quantum capacity of qudit depolarizing channels relates to the dimension of the systems considered. We conclude that when high dimensional qudits experiencing depolarizing noise are considered, the coherent information of the channel is not only an achievable rate but essentially the maximum possible rate for any quantum block code.

  This paper studies the study of fault-tolerant channel coding for quantum channels. We use techniques from fault-tolerant quantum computing to establish coding theorems for sending classical and quantum information in this scenario. We extend these methods to the case of entanglement-assisted communication, in particular proving that the fault-tolerant capacity approaches the usual capacity when the gate error approaches zero.

  encode and decode circuits to reliably send messages over many uses of a noisy channel. 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.
