Rate loss in quantum channels with classical state and applications for quantum broadcast channels

We consider the problem of textit{rate loss} - a strict penalty suffered in achievable rates due to the lack of channel state information at the receiver (Rx) of a classical-quantum (CQ) channel. First, we identify non-commutative CQ channels and analytically prove a rate loss. Building on this, we next prove that coset-code-based strategies can strictly outperform conventional unstructured IID-code-based strategies for non-commutative 3-user CQ broadcast channels.
