Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 1509))

Abstract

We derive relation between a quantum channel’s capacity to convey classical information and its ability to convey quantum information. We also show that these properties of a quantum channel are related to the channel’s ability to convey quantum coherent information.
