On the capacities of bipartite Hamiltonians and unitary gates

View publication

Abstract

We consider interactions as bidirectional channels. We investigate the capacities for interaction Hamiltonians and non-local unitary gates to generate entanglement and transmit classical information. We give analytic expressions for the entanglement generating capacity and entanglement-assisted one-way classical communication capacity of interactions, and show that these quantities are additive, so that the asymptotic capacities equal the corresponding 1-shot capacities. We give general bounds on other capacities, discuss some examples, and conclude with some open questions.
