• Title: Additivity of quantum capacities in simple non-degradable quantum channels
• Authors: Graeme Smith, Peixue Wu,
• Abstract summary: Examples of additivity, while rare, provide key insight into the origins of nonadditivity. Degradable channels, which have additive coherent information, are some of the only channels for which we can calculate the quantum capacity. We construct non-degradable quantum channels that nevertheless have additive coherent information and therefore easily calculated quantum capacity.

• Abstract: Quantum channel capacities give the fundamental performance limits for information flow over a communication channel. However, the prevalence of superadditivity is a major obstacle to understanding capacities, both quantitatively and conceptually. Examples of additivity, while rare, provide key insight into the origins of nonadditivity and enable our best upper bounds on capacities. Degradable channels, which have additive coherent information, are some of the only channels for which we can calculate the quantum capacity. In this paper we construct non-degradable quantum channels that nevertheless have additive coherent information and therefore easily calculated quantum capacity. The first class of examples is constructed by generalizing the Platypus channel, as introduced by Leditzky et al., which demonstrates interesting properties of additivity and non-additivity. The second class of examples, whose additivity follows from a conjectured reverse-type data processing inequality, is based on probabilistic mixture of degradable and anti-degradable channels. As a byproduct, we provide some possible examples of quantum channels with zero quantum capacity, which are neither anti-degradable nor PPT.

  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.

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.
