Fundamental limits on quantum communications
EF 2024-25
Résumé
Our proposed research tackles the most fundamental questions in the theory: What communication rates can be achieved over a quantum communication link? How can we achieve these rates? How can different communication resources be fruitfully combined to enhance performance? Tackling these questions will require developing new mathematical techniques to analyze the structure of quantum correlations, as well as conceptual advances in how we think about information. If successful, we will provide new methods to evaluate the capacities of a quantum communication channel, new methods to boost the performance of quantum channels and networks, and a new understanding of the communication potential of a quantum communication resource.
