Private Capacity of Quantum Channels Induced by Non-stabilizer Environmental States

We investigate the private capacity of quantum channels using the recently proposed quantum convolution theory for discrete-variable quantum systems. We focus on the role of the magic resource played in this framework. Firstly, for a large class of convolutional channels, we find that the private capacity is zero if the fixed environmental state is a stabilizer state. Moreover, we show that the private capacity can be nonzero for some magic environmental states. Furthermore, we show that the private capacity of a discrete beam splitter unitary is upper-bounded by the amount of magic of the environmental state. In addition, if the environmental state exhibits a certain symmetric structure, even if it is magic, the corresponding private capacity will also vanish for a class of convolution. These results emphasize the role of magic resources in quantum communication

E-values for k-Sample Tests With Exponential Families

We develop and compare e-variables for testing whether $k$ samples of data are drawn from the same distribution, the alternative being that they come from different elements of an exponential family. We consider the GRO (growth-rate optimal) e-variables for (1) a `small' null inside the same exponential family, and (2) a `large' nonparametric null, as well as (3) an e-variable arrived at by conditioning on the sum of the sufficient statistics. (2) and (3) are efficiently computable, and extend ideas from Turner et al. [2021] and Wald [1947] respectively from Bernoulli to general exponential families. We provide theoretical and simulation-based comparisons of these e-variables in terms of their logarithmic growth rate, and find that for small effects all four e-variables behave surprisingly similarly; for the Gaussian location and Poisson families, e-variables (1) and (3) coincide; for Bernoulli, (1) and (2) coincide; but in general, whether (2) or (3) grows faster under the alternative is family-dependent. We furthermore discuss algorithms for numerically approximating (1).

The fundamental theorem of affine geometry in regular $L^0$-modules

Let $(\Omega,{\mathcal F},P)$ be a probability space and $L^0({\mathcal F})$ the algebra of equivalence classes of real-valued random variables defined on $(\Omega,{\mathcal F},P)$. A left module $M$ over the algebra $L^0({\mathcal F})$(briefly, an $L^0({\mathcal F})$-module) is said to be regular if $x=y$ for any given two elements $x$ and $y$ in $M$ such that there exists a countable partition $\{A_n,n\in \mathbb N\}$ of $\Omega$ to $\mathcal F$ such that ${\tilde I}_{A_n}\cdot x={\tilde I}_{A_n}\cdot y$ for each $n\in \mathbb N$, where $I_{A_n}$ is the characteristic function of $A_n$ and ${\tilde I}_{A_n}$ its equivalence class. The purpose of this paper is to establish the fundamental theorem of affine geometry in regular $L^0({\mathcal F})$-modules: let $V$ and $V^\prime$ be two regular $L^0({\mathcal F})$-modules such that $V$ contains a free $L^0({\mathcal F})$-submodule of rank $2$, if $T:V\to V^\prime$ is stable and invertible and maps each $L^0$-line segment to an $L^0$-line segment, then $T$ must be $L^0$-affine.

The fundamental theorem of affine geometry in $(L^0)^n$

Let $L^0$ be the algebra of equivalence classes of real valued random variables on a given probability space, and $(L^0)^n$ the $n$-ary Cartesian power of $L^0$ for each integer $n\geq 2$. We consider $(L^0)^n$ as a free module over $L^0$ and study affine geometry in $(L^0)^n$. One of our main results states that: an injective mapping $T: (L^0)^n\to (L^0)^n$ which is local and maps each $L^0$-line onto an $L^0$-line must be an $L^0$-affine linear mapping. The other main result states that: a bijective mapping $T: (L^0)^n\to (L^0)^n$ which is local and maps each $L^0$-line segment onto an $L^0$-line segment must be an $L^0$-affine linear mapping. These results extend the fundamental theorem of affine geometry from $\mathbb R^n$ to $(L^0)^n$.

Some results on the Orlicz space generated from a random normed module

Noting the important role the abstract $L^p$ space has played in the development of random normed modules, in this paper we introduce and study the Orlicz space generated from a random normed module. First, we give a basic dual space representation theorem which identify the dual of the Orlicz heart of a random normed module with the Orlicz space generated from the random conjugate space. Then, we establish the respective equivalence relations of the strict convexity and uniform convexity of this abstract Orlicz space to the random strict convexity and random uniform convexity of the underlying random normed module. These results demonstrate that it is possible to use the Orlicz space theory in the further development of random nomed modules.

Overlay Protection Against Link Failures Using Network Coding

This paper introduces a network coding-based protection scheme against single and multiple link failures. The proposed strategy ensures that in a connection, each node receives two copies of the same data unit: one copy on the working circuit, and a second copy that can be extracted from linear combinations of data units transmitted on a shared protection path. This guarantees instantaneous recovery of data units upon the failure of a working circuit. The strategy can be implemented at an overlay layer, which makes its deployment simple and scalable. While the proposed strategy is similar in spirit to the work of Kamal '07 & '10, there are significant differences. In particular, it provides protection against multiple link failures. The new scheme is simpler, less expensive, and does not require the synchronization required by the original scheme. The sharing of the protection circuit by a number of connections is the key to the reduction of the cost of protection. The paper also conducts a comparison of the cost of the proposed scheme to the 1+1 and shared backup path protection (SBPP) strategies, and establishes the benefits of our strategy.
