Emerging from Noisy Quantum Channels

چکیده
In this paper, we consider the minimal entropy of two-qubit states transmitted through two uses of a noisy quantum channel, which is modeled by the action of a completely positive trace-preserving (or stochastic) map. We provide strong support for the conjecture that this minimal entropy is additive, namely that the minimum entropy can be achieved when product states are transmitted. Explicitly, we prove that for tensor products of unital stochastic maps, using an entanglement that involves only states which emerge with minimal entropy cannot decrease the entropy below the minimum achievable using product states. We give a separate argument, based on the geometry of the image of the set of density matrices under stochastic maps, which suggests that the minimal entropy conjecture holds for nonunital as well as for unital maps. We also show that the maximal norm of the output states is multiplicative for most product maps, including all those for which at least one map is unital.

Remarks on Private and Quantum Capacities of More Capable and Less Noisy Quantum Channels
Two new classes of quantum channels, which we call more capable and less noisy, are introduced. The more capable class consists of channels such that the quantum capacities of the complementary channels to the environments are zero. The less noisy class consists of channels such that the private capacities of the complementary channels to the environment are zero. For the more capable class, it...
متن کاملDegradable channels, less noisy channels, and quantum statistical morphisms: An equivalence relation
Two partial orderings among communication channels, namely, ‘being degradable into’ and ‘being less noisy than,’ are reconsidered in the light of recent results about statistical comparisons of quantum channels. Though our analysis covers at once both classical and quantum channels, we also provide a separate treatment of classical noisy channels, and show how, in this case, an alternative self...
متن کاملSecret Sharing Through Noisy Quantum Channels
In a realistic situation, the secret sharing of classical or quantum information will involve the transmission of this information through noisy channels. We consider a three qubit pure state. This state becomes a mixed-state when the qubits are distributed over noisy channels. In the case of a specific noisy channel, the phase-damping channel, we show that the secret sharing of classical infor...
متن کاملOn Negativity and Quantum Fisher Information of an Open and Noisy System in the Steady State
In this work, we study the quantum Fisher information (QFI) per particle of an open (particles can enter and leave the system) and dissipative (far from thermodynamical equilibrium) steady state system of two qubits in noisy channels. We concentrate on two noisy channels these are dephasing and non-dephasing channels. We will show that under certain conditions QFI per particle is slightly great...
متن کاملFidelity of quantum teleportation through noisy channels
We investigate quantum teleportation through noisy quantum channels by solving analytically and numerically a master equation in the Lindblad form. We calculate the fidelity as a function of decoherence rates and angles of a state to be teleported. It is found that the average fidelity and the range of states to be accurately teleported depend on types of noises acting on quantum channels. If t...
متن کاملTransmitting Quantum Information Reliably across Various Quantum Channels
Transmitting quantum information across quantum channels is an important task. However quantum information is delicate, and is easily corrupted. We address the task of protecting quantum information from an information theoretic perspective – we encode some message qudits into a quantum code, send the encoded quantum information across the noisy quantum channel, then recover the message qudits ...
