This week's MIT QIP seminar will take place on Monday, Nov. 24 at
16:00 in 4-270, and features:
Recent Progress in Quantum Shannon Theory
by Igor Devetak (T. J. Watson IBM Research Center)
(based on joint work with A. Winter and A. Harrow)
ABSTRACT
The task of quantum Shannon theory is to find asymptotic conversion
rates between various quantum or classical resources, expressed in
terms of quantum information theoretical quantities such as von
Neumann entropy, quantum mutual information and coherent information.
The first part of the talk concerns an operational connection between
quantum privacy and quantum coherence. Protocols for one-way
entanglement generation and distillation are obtained from
particular protocols for secret key generation and distillation,
respectively, by "making them coherent". In the second part it will
be shown that many of the known resource interconversion protocols
such as quantum information transmission, entanglement distillation
and entanglement assisted communication) may be organized into a
"family" in which the children protocols descend from the parents via
teleportation or super-dense coding. Moreover, the parent protocols
may be recovered from the children by "making them coherent".
