We develop the theory of α-bits, including the applications above, and determine the α-bit capacity of general quantum channels, finding single-letter formulas for the entanglement-assisted and amortised ...
The decomposition of a qubit into an ebit and two zero-bits has wide-ranging consequences including applications to state merging, the quantum channel capacity, entanglement distillation, quantum identification ...
