Abstract

We have constructed universal codes for quantum lossless source coding and classical-quantum channel coding. In this construction, we essentially employ group representation theory. In order to treat quantum lossless source coding, universal approximation of multi-copy states is discussed in terms of the quantum relative entropy.
