Correcting quantum channels by measuring the environment
@article{Hayden2005CorrectingQC, title={Correcting quantum channels by measuring the environment}, author={Patrick M. Hayden and Christopher King}, journal={Quantum Inf. Comput.}, year={2005}, volume={5}, pages={156-160} }
The corrected capacity of a quantum channel is defined as the best one-shot capacity that can be obtained by measuring the environment and using the result to correct the output of the channel. It is shown that (i) all qubit channels have corrected capacity log 2, (ii) a product of N qubit channels has corrected capacity N log 2, and (iii) all channels have corrected capacity at least log 2. The question is posed of finding the channel with smallest corrected capacity in any dimension d.

It is shown that entanglement plays a crucial role in this problem of quantum communication: indeed, the environment-assisted capacity where the helper is restricted to product states between the channel uses is different from the one with unrestricted helper.
Recovering quantum information through partial access to the environment

This work investigates the possibility of correcting errors occurring on a multipartite system through a feedback mechanism that acquires information through partial access to the environment and applies a partial control scheme of this type to the depolarizing and correlated errors.
On environment-assisted capacities of quantum channels
- Computer Science

It is shown that a lower bound on the environment-assisted classical capacity is always half the logarithm of the input space dimension, and a few techniques are developed to prove the existence of channels which meet this lower bound up to terms of much smaller order, even when PPT decoding measurements are allowed.

An uncertainty-type relation between the classical capacities of the sender and the helper is derived, showing a lower bound on the sum of the two capacities, which is used to lower bound the classical information transmission rate in the scenario of classical communication between sender and helper.

The Quantum Multiple-Access Channel With Cribbing Encoders
- Computer ScienceIEEE Transactions on Information Theory
- 2022
A MAC model with noisy cribbing is introduced, whereby Transmitter 2 performs a measurement on a system that is entangled with Transmitter 1, and a regularized capacity characterization is established for robust cribbing, i.e. when the cribbing system contains all the information of the channel input.
