• Abstract: Stochastic channels are ubiquitous in the field of quantum information because they are simple and easy to analyze. In particular, Pauli channels and depolarizing channels are widely studied because they can be efficiently simulated in many relevant quantum circuits. Despite their wide use, the properties of general stochastic channels have received little attention. In this paper, we prove that the diamond distance of a general stochastic channel from the identity coincides with its process infidelity to the identity. We demonstrate with an explicit example that there exist multi-qubit stochastic channels that are not unital. We then discuss the relationship between unitary 1-designs and stochastic channels. We prove that the twirl of an arbitrary quantum channel by a unitary 1-design is always a stochastic channel. However, unlike with unitary 2-designs, the twirled channel depends upon the choice of unitary 1-design. Moreover, we prove by example that there exist stochastic channels that cannot be obtained by twirling a quantum channel by a unitary 1-design.

  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.

  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.

• 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.

• Singularities, mixing and non-Markovianity of Pauli dynamical maps [0.0]
  We consider whether singularities of the channel can be produced by mixing non-singular channels. On the other hand, mixing channels with a singularity can lead to the elimination of singularities in the resultant channel. Results impose nontrivial restrictions on the experimental realization of non-invertible quantum channels by a process of channel mixing.
