• Abstract summary: The task of determining whether a given quantum channel has positive capacity to transmit quantum information is a fundamental open problem in quantum information theory. We show that the coherent information of a single copy of a randomly selected channel is positive almost surely if the channel's output space is larger than its environment.

• Abstract: The task of determining whether a given quantum channel has positive capacity to transmit quantum information is a fundamental open problem in quantum information theory. In general, the coherent information needs to be computed for an unbounded number of copies of a channel in order to detect a positive value of its quantum capacity. However, in this Letter, we show that the coherent information of a single copy of a randomly selected channel is positive almost surely if the channel's output space is larger than its environment. Hence, in this case, a single copy of the channel typically suffices to determine positivity of its quantum capacity. Put differently, channels with zero coherent information have measure zero in the subset of channels for which the output space is larger than the environment. On the other hand, if the environment is larger than the channel's output space, identical results hold for the channel's complement.

  We consider the problem in its generality for memoryless channels with finite output, but arbitrary input alphabets. Our main findings are that the maximum number of messages thus identifiable scales super-exponentially as $2R,nlog n$ with the block length $n$. Results are shown to generalise directly to classical-quantum channels with finite-dimensional output quantum system.

  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.

  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.

  Transmission of classical information over a quantum state-dependent channel is considered, when the encoder can measure channel side information (CSI) and is required to mask information on the quantum channel state from the decoder. Regularized formula is derived for the masking equivocation region, and a full characterization is established for a class of measurement channels.

• Detecting positive quantum capacities of quantum channels [9.054540533394926]
  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.
