Coding for quantum channels with side information at the transmitter

Understand

We consider the problem of coding for quantum channels with side information that is available ahead of time at the transmitter but not at the receiver.

• We find a single-letter expression for the entanglement-assisted quantum capacity of such channels which closely parallels Gel'fand and Pinsker's solution to the classical version of the same problem.
• This theorem can also be used to find a lower bound on the unassisted quantum capacity of these channels.
