The classical-input quantum-output (cq) wiretap channel is a communication model involving a classical senderX, a legitimate quantum receiverB, and a quantum eavesdropperE. The goal of a private communication protocol that uses such a channel is for the senderXto transmit a message in such a way that the legitimate receiverBcan decode it reliably, while the eavesdropperElearns essentially nothing about which message was transmitted. The-one-shot private capacity of a cq wiretap channel is equal to the maximum number of bits that can be transmitted over the channel, such that the privacy error is no larger than. The present paper provides a lower bound on the-one-shot private classical capacity, by exploiting the recently developed techniques of Anshu, Devabathini, Jain, and Warsi, called position-based coding and convex splitting. The lower bound is equal to a difference of the hypothesis testing mutual information betweenXandBand the “alternate” smooth max-information betweenXandE. The one-shot lower bound then leads to a non-trivial lower bound on the second-order coding rate for private classical communication over a memoryless cq wiretap channel.
