Quantum Sensing and Communication via Non-Gaussian States
Quantum sensing and communication (QSC) is pivotal for developing next-generation networks with unprecedented performance. 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).

Source Coding for Markov Sources With Partial Memoryless Side Information at the Decoder
We consider the one helper source coding problem posed and investigated by Ahlswede, Körner, and Wyner for a class of information sources with memory. For this class of information sources we give explicit inner and outer bounds of the admissible rate region. We also give a certain nontrivial class of information sources where the inner and outer bounds match.

Deviation From Maximal Entanglement for Mid-Spectrum Eigenstates of Local Hamiltonians
In a spin chain governed by a local Hamiltonian, we consider a microcanonical ensemble in the middle of the energy spectrum and a contiguous subsystem whose length is a constant fraction of the system size. We prove that if the bandwidth of the ensemble is greater than a certain constant, then the average entanglement entropy (between the subsystem and the rest of the system) of eigenstates in the ensemble deviates from the maximum entropy by at least a positive constant.

Statistical Inference With Limited Memory: A Survey
The problem of statistical inference in its various forms has been the subject of decades-long extensive research. Most of the effort has been focused on characterizing the behavior as a function of the number of available samples, with far less attention given to the effect of memory limitations on performance. Recently, this latter topic has drawn much interest in the engineering and computer science literature.

Tightening Continuity Bounds for Entropies and Bounds on Quantum Capacities
Uniform continuity bounds on entropies are generally expressed in terms of a single distance measure between probability distributions or quantum states, typically, the total variation-or trace distance. However, if an additional distance measure is known, the continuity bounds can be significantly strengthened. Here, we prove a tight uniform continuity bound for the Shannon entropy in terms of both the local-and total variation distances, sharpening an inequality in I. Sason, IEEE Trans. Inf. Th., 59, 7118 (2013).

Dynamic Group Testing to Control and Monitor Disease Progression in a Population
Proactive testing and interventions are crucial for disease containment during a pandemic until widespread vaccination is achieved. However, a key challenge remains: Can we accurately identify all new daily infections with only a fraction of tests needed compared to testing everyone, everyday?

Shannon Bounds for Quadratic Rate-Distortion Problems
The Shannon lower bound has been the subject of several important contributions by Berger. This paper surveys Shannon bounds on rate-distortion problems under mean-squared error distortion with a particular emphasis on Berger’s techniques. Moreover, as a new result, the Gray-Wyner network is added to the canon of settings for which such bounds are known. In the Shannon bounding technique, elegant lower bounds are expressed in terms of the source entropy power.

Computation of Binary Arithmetic Sum Over an Asymmetric Diamond Network
In this paper, the problem of zero-error network function computation is considered, where in a directed acyclic network, a single sink node is required to compute with zero error a function of the source messages that are separately generated by multiple source nodes. From the information-theoretic point of view, we are interested in the fundamental computing capacity, which is defined as the average number of times that the function can be computed with zero error for one use of the network.

Low-Complexity Coding Techniques for Cloud Radio Access Networks
The problem of coding for the uplink and downlink of cloud radio access networks (C-RAN’s) with K users and L relays is considered. It is shown that low-complexity coding schemes that achieve any point in the rate-fronthaul region of joint coding and compression can be constructed starting from at most 4(K+L)-2 point-to-point codes designed for symmetric channels. This reduces the seemingly hard task of constructing good codes for C-RAN’s to the much better understood task of finding good codes for single-user channels.
