Two parts of an entangled quantum state can have a correlation, in their joint behavior under measurements, that is unexplainable by shared classical information. Such correlations are called nonlocal and have proven to be an interesting resource for information processing. Since nonlocal correlations are more useful if they are stronger, it is natural to ask whether weak nonlocality can be amp...

Let X and Y be dependent random variables. This paper considers the problem of designing a scalar quantizer for to maximize mutual information between quantizer's output X, develops fundamental properties bounds this form quantization, which is connected log-loss distortion criterion. The main focus regime low I(X;Y), where it shown that, if binary, constant fraction can always preserved using ...

EDITORIAL Editorial I was not able to attend GECCO this year, but everybody told me it was as great as usual and I am sure that all the people who attended it enjoyed it a lot! I had not spent the second week of July in Milan since 2000, when I could not attend GECCO-2000 in Las Vegas. Thus, spending the GECCO week at work while all my friends were enjoying themselves in Philly, has been kind o...
