We propose to measure the importance of spin-orbit couplings (SOCs) in the nonadiabatic molecular quantum dynamics rigorously with quantum fidelity. To make the criterion practical, quantum fidelity is estimated efficiently with the multiple-surface dephasing ...
Polar codes are constructed for arbitrary channels by imposing an arbitrary quasigroup structure on the input alphabet. The block error probability under successive cancellation decoding decays exponentially with the square root of the block length. It is ...
We consider communication over a noisy network under randomized linear network coding. Possible error mechanisms include node-or link-failures, Byzantine behavior of nodes, or an overestimate of the network min-cut. Building on the work of Kotter and Kschi ...
We investigate the role of interaction for computa- tion problem settings where nodes intend to compute functions of the raw messages generated at other nodes. In this work, we make some progress on a more elementary research component: feedback. Specifica ...
Secure network coding assumes that the underlying network links are lossless, thus it can be applied over lossy networks after channel error correction. Yet it is well known that channel losses, such as packet erasures, can be constructively used for secre ...
During the last two decades we have witnessed considerable activity in building bridges between the fields of information theory/communications, computer science, and statistical physics. This is due to the realization that many fundamental concepts and no ...
This thesis is focused on classical and semiclassical approximations of a specific quantum time correlation function, the “quantum fidelity.” Namely, we rigorously study the efficiency of a continuous class of algorithms for the evaluation of its classical ...
We evaluate the information-theoretic achievable rates of Quantize-Map-and-Forward (QMF) relaying schemes over Gaussian N-relay diamond networks. Focusing on vector Gaussian quantization at the relays, our goal is to understand how close to the cutset up ...
Quantum phase transitions are often embodied by the critical behavior of purely quantum quantities such as entanglement or quantum fluctuations. In critical regions, we underline a general scaling relation between the entanglement entropy and one of the mo ...
We propose to measure nonadiabaticity of molecular quantum dynamics rigorously with the quantum fidelity between the Born-Oppenheimer and fully nonadiabatic dynamics. It is shown that this measure of nonadiabaticity applies in situations where other criter ...
