  • Strong Converse Exponent for Classical-Quantum Channel Coding
    Milan Mosonyi; Tomohiro Ogawa
    COMMUNICATIONS IN MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS, SPRINGER, 355, 1, 373-426, Oct. 2017, Peer-reviwed, We determine the exact strong converse exponent of classical-quantum channel coding, for every rate above the Holevo capacity. Our form of the exponent is an exact analogue of Arimoto's, given as a transform of the R,nyi capacities with parameters . It is important to note that, unlike in the classical case, there are many inequivalent ways to define the R,nyi divergence of states, and hence the R,nyi capacities of channels. Our exponent is in terms of the R,nyi capacities corresponding to a version of the R,nyi divergences that has been introduced recently in Muller-Lennert et al. (J Math Phys 54(12):122203, 2013.). Our result adds to the growing body of evidence that this new version is the natural definition for the purposes of strong converse problems.

  • Two Approaches to Obtain the Strong Converse Exponent of Quantum Hypothesis Testing for General Sequences of Quantum States
    Milan Mosonyi; Tomohiro Ogawa
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 61, 12, 6975-6994, Dec. 2015, Peer-reviwed, We present two general approaches to obtain the strong converse exponent of simple quantum hypothesis testing for correlated quantum states. One approach requires that the states satisfy a certain factorization property; typical examples of such states are the temperature states of translation-invariant finite-range interactions on a spin chain. The other approach requires the differentiability of a regularized Renyi alpha-divergence in the parameter a; typical examples of such states include temperature states of non-interacting fermionic lattice systems, and classical irreducible Markov chains. In all cases, we get that the strong converse exponent is equal to the Hoeffding anti-divergence, which in turn is obtained from the regularized Renyi divergences of the two states.

  • Quantum Hypothesis Testing and the Operational Interpretation of the Quantum Renyi Relative Entropies
    Milan Mosonyi; Tomohiro Ogawa
    COMMUNICATIONS IN MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS, SPRINGER, 334, 3, 1617-1648, Mar. 2015, Peer-reviwed, We show that the new quantum extension of Renyi's alpha-relative entropies, introduced recently by Muller-Lennert et al. (J Math Phys 54: 122203, 2013) and Wilde et al. (Commun Math Phys 331(2): 593-622, 2014), have an operational interpretation in the strong converse problem of quantum hypothesis testing. Together with related results for the direct part of quantum hypothesis testing, known as the quantum Hoeffding bound, our result suggests that the operationally relevant definition of the quantum Renyi relative entropies depends on the parameter alpha: for alpha < 1, the right choice seems to be the traditional definition D-alpha((old)) (rho parallel to sigma) := 1/alpha-1 log Tr rho(alpha)sigma(1-alpha), whereas for alpha > 1 the right choice is the newly introduced version D-alpha((new)) (rho parallel to sigma) := 1/alpha-1 log Tr (sigma 1-alpha/2 alpha rho sigma 1-alpha/2 alpha)(alpha).
    On the way to proving our main result, we show that the new Renyi alpha-relative entropies are asymptotically attainable by measurements for alpha > 1. From this, we obtain a new simple proof for their monotonicity under completely positive trace-preserving maps.

  • Making good codes for classical-quantum channel coding via quantum hypothesis testing
    Tomohiro Ogawa; Hiroshi Nagaoka
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 53, 6, 2261-2266, Jun. 2007, Peer-reviwed, In this correspondence, we give an alternative proof of the direct part of the classical-quantum channel coding theorem (the Holevo-Schumacher-Westmoreland (HSW) theorem), using ideas of quantum hypothesis testing. In order to show the existence of good codes, we invoke a limit theorem, relevant to the quantum Stein's lemma, in quantum hypothesis testing as the law of large numbers used in the classical case. We also apply a greedy construction of good codes using a packing procedure of noncommutative operators. Consequently we derive an upper bound on the coding error probability, which is used to give an alternative proof of the HSW theorem. This approach elucidates how the Holevo information applies to the classical-quantum channel coding problems.

  • Strong converse and Stein's lemma in quantum hypothesis testing
    T Ogawa; H Nagaoka
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 46, 7, 2428-2433, Nov. 2000, Peer-reviwed, The hypothesis testing problem for two quantum states is treated. We show a new inequality between the errors of the first kind and the second kind, which complements the result of Hiai and Petz to establish the quantum version of Stein's lemma. The inequality is also used to show a bound on the probability of errors of the first kind when the power exponent for the probability of errors of the second kind exceeds the quantum relative entropy, which yields the strong converse in quantum hypothesis testing. Finally, we discuss the relation between the bound and the power exponent derived by Han and Kobayashi in classical hypothesis testing.

    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 45, 7, 2486-2489, Nov. 1999, Peer-reviwed, A lower bound on the probability of decoding error for a quantum communication channel is presented, from which the strong converse to the quantum channel coding theorem is immediately shown, The results and their derivations are mostly straightforward extensions of the classical counterparts which were established by Arimoto, except that more careful treatment is necessary here due to the noncommutativity of operators.
