Binary test for quantum decoding success

ID: binary-test-for-quantum-decoding-success

For equiprobable quantum code states decoded by a POVM , testing whether the classical message label agrees with the decoded output gives a joint binary POVM with . Its acceptance probability is the decoding success on the joint classical-quantum state and on the product of its marginals. Applying quantum relative entropy monotonicity to this test gives the one-shot classical-quantum coding converse.
