abstract

This is a preliminary version of a book in progress on the theory of quantum communication. We adopt an information-theoretic perspective throughout and give a comprehensive account of fundamental results in quantum communication theory from the past decade (and earlier), with an emphasis on the modern one-shot-to-asymptotic approach that underlies much of today's state-of-the-art research in this field. In Part I, we cover mathematical preliminaries and provide a detailed study of quantum mechanics from an information-theoretic perspective. We also provide an extensive and thorough review of quantum entropies, and we devote an entire chapter to the study of entanglement measures. Equipped with these essential tools, in Part II we study classical communication (with and without entanglement assistance), entanglement distillation, quantum communication, secret key distillation, and private communication. In Part III, we cover the latest developments in feedback-assisted communication tasks, such as quantum and classical feedback-assisted communication, LOCC-assisted quantum communication, and secret key agreement.

Asymptotically good bosonic Fock state codes

quant-ph · 2026-03-16 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

Asymptotically good Fock-state codes are built from random classical codes in the discrete simplex to correct linearly many photon losses under amplitude-damping noise, with bounded per-mode occupancy.

An operational continuum limit of quantum combs

quant-ph · 2026-01-23 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

A continuous process tensor is defined by embedding the discrete multi-partite Choi matrix of a quantum comb into bosonic Fock space, closing the gap between discrete and continuum descriptions of multi-time quantum processes.

Communication Advantages from Quantum Dense Network Coding

quant-ph · 2026-07-09 · accept · novelty 7.5

Dense network coding computes group operations over multiaccess networks with half the classical communication cost using shared entanglement plus quantum channels, and yields measurement-device-independent quantum key growing.

Exact identification of unknown unitary processes

quant-ph · 2026-05-06 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Optimal success probability for identifying one or two faulty unknown unitaries is independent of total device count, achieved via an ancillary-system protocol that allows independent testing.

Accessible Quantum Correlations Under Complexity Constraints

quant-ph · 2026-04-16 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Computational constraints exponentially suppress accessible entanglement for some highly entangled quantum states and can make mixed-state min-entropy appear maximal when the information-theoretic version is negative.

The contact temperature of arbitrary quantum states

quant-ph · 2026-06-30 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Introduces a universal thermometer model defining a unique contact temperature β_op for any finite-dimensional quantum state as the inverse temperature where heat exchange with the system vanishes.

Local Diffusion Models and Phases of Data Distributions

cs.LG · 2025-08-08 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The paper introduces a phase framework for data distributions connected by local denoisers and demonstrates that reverse diffusion consists of trivial and data phases separated by a transition where local score functions must fail, tied to spatial Markovianity.

Diagnosing chaos with projected ensembles of process tensors

quant-ph · 2025-02-19 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Higher moments of the projected process ensemble reveal entanglement structures that distinguish chaotic from integrable dynamics more sharply than quantum dynamical or spatiotemporal entropies.

Bounds on quantum conference key agreement in pair-entangled networks

quant-ph · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Upper bounds on distillable conference key in pair-entangled networks are derived depending on topology and entanglement, with tightness proven and optimality of pairwise distillation plus merging shown for specific cases.

Fully Quantum Computational Entropies

quant-ph · 2025-06-16 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Authors introduce quantum computational min- and max-entropies with properties including data processing and chain rules, plus an operational link to bounded-circuit entanglement distillation.
