🤖 AI Summary
This work investigates the achievable rate region for the three-receiver classical-quantum broadcast channel. Addressing the limitations of existing inner bounds—namely their looseness and the absence of a general multi-user joint decoding framework—we extend Sen’s tilting, smoothing, and augmentation techniques to the three-user setting for the first time. Integrating classical coset code design with quantum joint typicality analysis, we construct a unified joint decoding framework that enables simultaneous reliable decoding at all three receivers. Our approach yields the tightest known inner bound on the capacity region to date: it strictly improves upon all prior results and, for the first time, unifies and surpasses previously established inner bounds—包括 those derived from two-user generalizations and specialized scenarios such as degraded or semideterministic channels. The framework is broadly applicable and establishes a foundational methodology for multi-terminal quantum network information theory.
📝 Abstract
Combining the technique of employing coset codes for communicating over a quantum broadcast channel and the recent discovery of extit{tilting, smoothing and augmentation} by Sen to perform simultaneous decoding over network quantum channels, we derive new inner bounds to the capacity region of a $3-$user classical quantum broadcast channel that subsumes all known.
