Coordination Capacity for Classical-Quantum Correlations

Abstract: Network coordination is considered in three basic settings, characterizing the generation of separable and classical-quantum correlations among multiple parties. First, we consider the simulation of a classical-quantum state between two nodes with rate-limited common randomness (CR) and communication. Furthermore, we study the preparation of a separable state between multiple nodes with rate-limited CR and no communication. At last, we consider a broadcast setting, where a sender and two receivers simulate a classical-quantum-quantum state using rate-limited CR and communication. We establish the optimal tradeoff between communication and CR rates in each setting.
