Quantum data processing and error correction
Abstract
This paper investigates properties of noisy quantum information channels. We define a new quantity called coherent information which measures the amount of quantum information conveyed in the noisy channel. This quantity can never be increased by quantum information processing, and it yields a simple necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of perfect quantum error correction.
