Quantum Shannon theory made robust: a tale of three protocols for almost i.i.d. sources

Filippo Girardi, Nilanjana Datta, Giacomo De Palma +1

The asymptotic rates of information-theoretic protocols - including error exponents, data-compression rates, and channel capacities - are traditionally derived under the idealised…

New approaches to almost i.i.d. information theory

Filippo Girardi, Giacomo De Palma, Ludovico Lami

Independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) states are ubiquitous in quantum information theory. However, in a practical setting, the i.i.d. assumption is too stringent, and p…
