Quantum Broadcast Channels with Mutually Confidential Messages — E8 Intelligence Research
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We study the transmission of two independent confidential classical messages over a quantum broadcast channel, one for each receiver. Each message must remain secret from the other receiver, including when that receiver knows its own message. For classical inputs and quantum outputs, we establish the classical Marton-type inner bound under average reliability and conditional strong secrecy. The encoder selects pairs of codewords from independently generated codebooks using normalized likelihood weights. We prove reliability through a change-of-distribution argument. Our main technical result is a bipartite classical-quantum resolvability theorem that accounts for the dependence created by pair selection and establishes secrecy for the same encoder. We also obtain a multi-letter capacity characterization and extend it to arbitrary quantum inputs under secrecy against the other receiver, together with the Stinespring environment. We recover confidential capacity regions for deterministic Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series. Platform: e8intelligence.com
