Classical Communication Helps Single-Shot Quantum Compression

Omri Farber, Gilad Gour

Free classical communication can yield an unbounded single-shot saving in quantum compression, even though it leaves the asymptotic rate of an i.i.d. source unchanged. At every fix…

Failure of the Asymptotic Equipartition Property for Quantum Channels

Gilad Gour

We establish two results on the asymptotic equipartition property (AEP) for quantum channels. First, the AEP formulated using smoothing over completely positive trace-preserving ma…

Quantum Noncommutativity Uniquely Determines Relative Entropy

Gilad Gour

Quantum relative entropy is a core concept in physics, governing the limits of communication, thermodynamic irreversibility and quantum resource conversion. However, the requiremen…

Optimal Trace Inequalities for Single-Shot Quantum Information

Gilad Gour

Single-shot quantum information theory is governed not only by entropy exponents, but also by the finite-resource constants that multiply them. These constants directly affect the…

Optimal Universal Bounds for Quantum Divergences

Gilad Gour

We identify a universal structural principle underlying the smoothing of classical divergences: the optimizer of the smoothing problem is a clipped probability vector, independentl…

Instability as a Quantum Resource

Goni Yoeli, Gilad Gour

We consolidate coherence, athermality, and nonuniformity as sub-resources within an underlying quantum resource theory: instability. We formulate instability axiomatically as the t…

Quantum Reverse Shannon Theorem Simplified

Gilad Gour

We revisit the quantum reverse Shannon theorem, a central result in quantum information theory that characterizes the resources needed to simulate quantum channels when entanglemen…

Fundamental limits for thermodynamic control with quantum feedback

Kaiyuan Ji, Gilad Gour, Mark M. Wilde

The study of feedback control inspired by Maxwell's demon has yielded fundamental insights into the relationship between thermodynamics and information. However, its fully quantum…

Induced Quantum Divergence: A New Lens on Communication and Source Coding

Gilad Gour

This paper introduces the induced divergence, a new quantum divergence measure that replaces the hypothesis testing divergence in position-based decoding, simplifying the analysis…

Convex Split Lemma without Inequalities

Gilad Gour

We introduce a refinement to the convex split lemma by replacing the max mutual information with the collision mutual information, transforming the inequality into an equality. Thi…

Towards the ultimate limits of quantum channel discrimination and quantum communication

Kun Fang, Gilad Gour, Xin Wang

Distinguishability is fundamental to information theory and extends naturally to quantum systems. While quantum state discrimination is well understood, quantum channel discriminat…
