We discuss the limitations imposed on entanglement distribution, quantum teleportation, and quantum communication by holographic bounds, such as the Bekenstein bound and Susskind's spherical entropy bound. For continuous-variable (CV) quantum information, we show how the naïve application of holographic corrections disrupts well-established results.

Abstract Two types of errors can occur when discriminating pairs of quantum states. Asymmetric state discrimination involves minimizing the probability of one type of error, subject to a constraint on the other. We give explicit expressions bounding the set of achievable errors, using the trace norm, the fidelity, and the quantum Chernoff bound. The upper bound is asymptotically tight and the lower bound is exact for pure states.

Abstract Identifying clusters in data is an important task in many fields. In this paper, we consider situations in which data live in a physical world, so we first have to collect the images using sensors before clustering them. Using sensors enhanced by quantum entanglement, we can image surfaces more accurately than using purely classical strategies. However, it is not immediately obvious whether the advantage we gain is robust enough to survive data-processing steps such as clustering.
