Building blocks for communication over noisy quantum networks

Quantum information theory is a relatively new field which lies
at the intersection of the two important sciences of the twentieth century:
the quantum theory and information theory. The two fundamental questions
which drives research in this area are: What are the ultimate capabilities
of computation and information processing with quantum mechanical systems?
In the last two decades investigations into this question have blossomed
into a rich area of research. In this talk, we will discuss a new framework
and tools for designing communication protocols over quantum channels. This
framework also gives a unified approach for designing optimal classical
protocols for many network communication scenarios.
