If we dispense with a transmission line and, instead, make the front-end electronics colocated with the antenna, then a high input impedance preamplifier can measure the open-circuit voltage directly on the antenna port while drawing negligible power. Neither Friis’ concept of noise figure, nor Shannon information theory, nor electronics technology dictates that we must extract power from an antenna. Classical physics appears not to provide a lower bound on the energy that must be extracted from the antenna for every bit of received information.","PeriodicalId":73295,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal on selected areas in information theory","volume":"6 ","pages":"49-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143800996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The protocol is resilient to any set of up to <italic>E</i> unresponsive servers (erased servers or stragglers) and any set of up to <italic>B</i> Byzantine servers. The underlying coding scheme incorporates an enhanced version of a Cross Subspace Alignment (CSA) code, namely a Modified CSA (MCSA) code, into the framework of CSS codes. The error-correcting capabilities of CSS codes are leveraged to encode the dimensions that carry desired computation results from the MCSA code into the error space of the CSS code, while the undesired interference terms are aligned into the stabilized code space. The challenge is to do this efficiently while also correcting quantum erasures and Byzantine errors. The protocol achieves superdense coding gain over comparable classical baselines for Q-E-B-MDS-X-TPIR, recovers as special cases the state of art results for various other quantum PIR settings previously studied in the literature, and paves the way for applications in quantum coded distributed computation, where CSA code structures are important for communication efficiency, while security and resilience to stragglers and Byzantine servers are critical.","PeriodicalId":73295,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal on selected areas in information theory","volume":"6 ","pages":"59-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143800744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this information can only be observed indirectly through the ports of the array. This raises fundamental information-theoretic questions: How much useful information is contained in the fields and currents on the surface of the receiver array? How much of this information is captured by the array ports? Do conventional arrays efficiently extract the information contained in their conducting surfaces? In this paper, we consider these questions in the context of a multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO) uplink where users are separated by spatial beamforming at the receiver. Our main results can be summarized as follows: To quantify the information contained in the EM fields and currents on the surface of the receiving antenna array, we first introduce a new model, the surface receiver model. We then use this model to derive upper bounds on the spectral efficiency that can be approached with any location of M ports on the surface of the receiving antenna array. We denote this the surface modal bound. Furthermore, we also derive upper bound on the spectral efficiency approached with any number or location of ports on the receiver array. We call it the surface spectral efficiency. Finally, we apply the analytical results to a MU-MIMO uplink with an array of patch antennas at the receiver. The results suggests that the conventional arrays of single and dual-polarized patches fails to capture most of the information contained in the surface currents. The results further suggest ways to modify the number of antenna ports, together with the receiver front-end, to extract the information in the surface currents more efficiently.","PeriodicalId":73295,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal on selected areas in information theory","volume":"6 ","pages":"34-48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10937211","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143792791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the RDP setting with either the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence or Wasserstein-2 metric as the perception loss function is examined, and it is shown that for Gaussian vector sources, jointly Gaussian reconstructions are optimal. We further demonstrate that the optimal tradeoff can be expressed as an optimization problem, which can be explicitly solved. An interesting property of the optimal solution is as follows. Without the perception constraint, the traditional reverse water-filling solution for characterizing the rate-distortion (RD) tradeoff of a Gaussian vector source states that the optimal rate allocated to each component depends on a constant, called the water level. If the variance of a specific component is below the water level, it is assigned a zero compression rate. However, with active distortion and perception constraints, we show that the optimal rates allocated to the different components are always positive. Moreover, the water levels that determine the optimal rate allocation for different components are unequal. We further treat the special case of perceptually perfect reconstruction and study its RDP function in the high-distortion and low-distortion regimes to obtain insight to the structure of the optimal solution.","PeriodicalId":73295,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal on selected areas in information theory","volume":"6 ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143107142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many implementations of existing QSC systems employ Gaussian states as they can be easily realized using current technologies. However, Gaussian states lack non-classical properties necessary to unleash the full potential of QSC. This motivates the use of non-Gaussian states, which have non-classical properties beneficial for QSC. This paper establishes a theoretical foundation for QSC employing photon-varied Gaussian states (PVGSs). The PVGSs are non-Gaussian states that can be generated from Gaussian states using current technologies. First, we derive a closed-form expression for the generalized bilinear generating function of ordinary Hermite polynomials and show how it can be used to describe PVGSs. Then, we characterize PVGSs by deriving their Fock representation and their inner product. We also determine equivalence conditions for Gaussian states obtained from arbitrary permutations of rotation, displacement, and squeezing operators. Finally, we explore the use of PVGSs for QSC in several case studies.","PeriodicalId":73295,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal on selected areas in information theory","volume":"6 ","pages":"18-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10750411","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143570888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
