Quantum Feedback Channels
In Shannon information theory the capacity of a memoryless communication
channel cannot be increased by the use of feedback. In quantum information
theory the no-cloning theorem means that noiseless copying and feedback of
quantum information cannot be achieved. In this paper, quantum feedback is
defined as the unlimited use of a noiseless quantum channel from receiver to
sender. Given such quantum feedback, it is shown to provide no increase in the
entanglement--assisted capacities of a memoryless quantum channel, in direct
analogy to the classical case. It is also shown that in various cases of
non-assisted capacities, feedback may increase the capacity of memoryless
quantum channels.Comment: 5 pages, requires IEEEtran.cls, expanded, proofs added, references

Classical information capacity of superdense coding
Classical communication through quantum channels may be enhanced by sharing entanglement. Superdense
coding allows the encoding, and transmission, of up to two classical bits of information in a single qubit. In this
paper, the maximum classical channel capacity for states that are not maximally entangled is derived. Particular
schemes are then shown to attain this capacity, first for pairs of qubits, and second for pairs of qutrits
Noise enhancing the classical information capacity of a quantum channel
We present a simple model of quantum communication where a noisy quantum
channel may benefit from the addition of further noise at the decoding stage.
We demonstrate enhancement of the classical information capacity of an
amplitude damping channel, with a predetermined detection threshold, by the
addition of noise in the decoding measurement.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Bounds on classical information capacities for a class of quantum memory channels
The maximum rates for information transmission through noisy quantum channels
has primarily been developed for memoryless channels, where the noise on each
transmitted state is treated as independent. Many real world communication
channels experience noise which is modelled better by errors that are
correlated between separate channel uses. In this paper, upper bounds on the
classical information capacities of a class of quantum memory channels are
derived. The class of channels consists of indecomposable quantum memory
channels, a generalization of classical indecomposable finite-state channels.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, RevTeX, coding theorem remove
Stochastic resonance effects in quantum channels
We provide some examples of quantum channels where the addition of noise is
able to enhance the information transmission rate. This may happen for both
quantum and classical uses and realizes stochastic resonance effects.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
