We consider quantum-memory assisted protocols for discriminating quantum channels. We show that for optimal discrimination of memory channels, memory assisted protocols are needed. This leads to a new notion of distance for channels with memory. For optimal discrimination and estimation of sets of unitary channels memory-assisted protocols are not required.

  1. The minimal example of quantum network Bell nonlocality

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Quantum nonlocality is possible in the triangle network with no inputs and binary outputs, which is the smallest such scenario by number of variables and outcomes.

  2. Quantum Advantage in Storage and Retrieval of Isometry Channels

    quant-ph 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Quantum strategy stores isometry channels with n = Θ(1/√ε) queries for error ε, quadratic improvement over classical n = Θ(ε^{-1}).
