Capacity of trace decreasing quantum operations and superadditivity of coherent information for a generalized erasure channel
Abstract Losses in quantum communication lines severely affect the rates of reliable information transmission and are usually considered to be state-independent. However, the loss probability does depend on the system state in general, with the polarization dependent losses being a prominent example. Here we analyze biased trace decreasing quantum operations …
