AI 中文摘要
我们为任何可通过制备-演化-测量场景建模的量子过程引入一种信息损失度量：爱丽丝制备一组态，通过量子信道发送给鲍勃，鲍勃对输出进行测量。由于量子信道可描述开放系统动力学，该信息损失度量量化了鲍勃无法确切回溯爱丽丝通过信道发送的是哪个态。通过在固定态ρ的所有可能纯态系综分解，以及信道E输出的所有POVM（正算子值测度）上最小化该度量，我们得到任意态-信道对(ρ,E)的内在信息损失概念。我们证明，对支撑在固定码空间H_code上的所有态，信息损失消失等价于一种被称为“通用原始性”的条件，该条件确保H_code中的正交纯态经信道E发送后，其支撑可能为正交的混合态。此外，我们证明通用原始性等价于量子纠错中的Knill-Laflamme条件，该条件是支撑在H_code上的所有态存在完美恢复信道的充要条件。作为应用，我们将该框架应用于黑洞蒸发的Hayden-Preskill模型，证明蒸发信道渐近成为通用原始的，从而为佩奇时间信息检索提供了纯信道理论形式化。
英文摘要
We introduce a measure of information loss for any quantum process that may be modeled by a prepare-evolve-measure scenario: Alice prepares an ensemble of states that gets sent via a quantum channel to Bob, who then measures the output. As a quantum channel models open system dynamics, our measure of information loss quantifies Bob's inability to retrodict with certainty which state Alice sent through the channel. By minimizing this measure over all possible pure state ensemble decompositions of a fixed state $ρ$, and over all POVMs on the output of a channel $\mathcal{E}$, we arrive at an intrinsic notion of information loss for any state-channel pair $(ρ,\mathcal{E})$. We show that the vanishing of information loss with respect to all states supported on a fixed codespace $\mathcal{H}_{\text{code}}$ is equivalent to a condition we term \emph{universal pristineness}, which ensures that orthogonal pure states in $\mathcal{H}_{\text{code}}$ get sent via the channel $\mathcal{E}$ to possibly mixed states whose supports are orthogonal. Moreover, we prove universal pristineness is equivalent to the Knill-Laflamme conditions in quantum error correction, which are necessary and sufficient for the existence of a perfect recovery channel for all states supported on $\mathcal{H}_{\text{code}}$. As an application, we apply our framework to the Hayden-Preskill model of black hole evaporation, demonstrating that the evaporation channel becomes asymptotically universally pristine, thereby providing a purely channel-theoretic formulation of Page-time information retrieval.
