Classical feedback for quantum channels

We investigate whether the use of a noiseless, classical feedback channel will increase the capacity of a quantum discrete memoryless channel to transmit classical information. This problem has been previously analyzed by Bowen and Nagarajan for the case of protocols restricted to product input states. They showed that feedback did not increase the information capacity. In this paper we introduce a quantum analogue of classical causality and prove a capacity theorem (in regularized form) for the transmission of classical information.

Time correlated quantum amplitude damping channel

We analyze the problem of sending classical information through qubit channels where successive uses of the channel are correlated. This work extends the analysis of C. Macchiavello and G. M. Palma to the case of a non-Pauli channel - the amplitude damping channel. Using the channel description outlined in S. Daffer, et al, we derive the correlated amplitude damping channel. We obtain a similar result to C. Macchiavello and G. M. Palma, that is, that under certain conditions on the degree of channel memory, the use of entangled input signals may enhance the information transmission compared to the use of product input signals.
