abstract
We determine both the quantum and the private capacities of low-noise quantum channels to leading orders in the channel's distance to the perfect channel. It has been an open problem for more than 20 years to determine the capacities of some of these low-noise channels such as the depolarizing channel. We also show that both capacities are equal to the single-letter coherent information of the channel, again to leading orders. We thus find that, in the low noise regime, super-additivity and degenerate codes have negligible benefit for the quantum capacity, and shielding does not improve the private capacity beyond the quantum capacity, in stark contrast to the situation when noisier channels are considered.

Optimal uniform continuity bound for conditional entropy of classical--quantum states
For classical-quantum states, the conditional entropy can change by at most epsilon log2(d_B-1) + h2(epsilon) under a trace-distance perturbation epsilon, and this bound cannot be improved.
