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