Indefinite causal order enables perfect quantum communication with zero capacity channels

نویسندگان

چکیده

Abstract Quantum mechanics is compatible with scenarios where the relative order between two events can be indefinite. Here we show that independent instances of a noisy process behave as perfect quantum communication channel when used in coherent superposition alternative orders. This phenomenon occurs even if original has zero capacity to transmit information. In contrast, does not occur message sent directly from sender receiver through paths, an noise acting on each path. The possibility channels highlights fundamental difference orders time and paths space.

Quantum communication with zero-capacity channels.

Communication over a noisy quantum channel introduces errors in the transmission that must be corrected. A fundamental bound on quantum error correction is the quantum capacity, which quantifies the amount of quantum data that can be protected. We show theoretically that two quantum channels, each with a transmission capacity of zero, can have a nonzero capacity when used together. This unveils...

Secure Communication over Zero-Private Capacity Quantum Channels

In this work a new phenomenon called polaractivation is introduced. Polaractivation is based on quantum polar encoding and the result is similar to the superactivation effect — positive capacity can be achieved with zero-capacity quantum channels. However, polaractivation has many advantages over the superactivation: it is limited neither by any preliminary conditions on the quantum channel nor...

On the Mathematical Boundaries of Communication with Zero-Capacity Quantum Channels

In the first decade of the 21st century, many revolutionary properties of quantum channels were discovered. These phenomena are purely quantum mechanical and completely unimaginable in classical systems. Recently, the most important discovery in Quantum Information Theory was the possibility of transmitting quantum information over zerocapacity quantum channels. In this work we prove that the p...

Gaussian bosonic synergy: quantum communication via realistic channels of zero quantum capacity

As with classical information, error-correcting codes enable reliable transmission of quantum information through noisy or lossy channels. In contrast to the classical theory, imperfect quantum channels exhibit a strong kind of synergy: there exist pairs of discrete memoryless quantum channels, each of zero quantum capacity, which acquire positive quantum capacity when used together. Here we sh...
