Questions tagged [semidefinite-programming]
Semidefinite programming (SDP) is a subfield of convex optimization concerned with the optimization of a linear objective function (a user-specified function that the user wants to minimize or maximize) over the intersection of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices with an affine space, i.e., a spectrahedron.

Linear and Logarithmic Constraint in Semidefinite Programming
I am trying to minimize the largest component of a vector $x = [x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4]$, where $x_1 \ge x_2 ... \ge x_4$, such that it satisfies a set of linear inequalities $A, b$ in the following way:
$...

$3 \rightarrow 1$ QRAC encoding for XOR functions
I'm currently working on QRAC and was wondering if there's an encoding protocol in $3 \rightarrow 1$ such that the receiver is able to retrieve any one of the XOR combinations of the bits, along with ...

Semi-definite program for conditional smooth max-entropy
I am aware of a SDP formulation for smooth min-entropy: question link. That program for smooth min-entropy was found in this book by Tomachiel: page 91. However, I am yet to come across a semi-...

Semi-definite program for smooth min-entropy
The conditional min-entropy is defined as (wiki):
$$
H_{\min}(A|B)_{\rho} \equiv -\inf_{\sigma_B}\inf_{\lambda}\{\lambda \in \mathbb{R}:\rho_{AB} \leq 2^{\lambda} \mathbb{I} \otimes \sigma_B\}
$$
And ...

How can I implement partial transpose on a variable in Picos (Python, trying to solve an SDP)?
I try to optimise a quantity via an SDP. I optimise over all PPT measurement operators and hence have the constraints $\Pi_k^{T_B} \succeq 0$ (PPT) for my measurement operators.
The part of the code ...

How to calculate the conditional min-entropy via a semidefinite program?
I am trying to formulate the calculation of conditional min-entropy as a semidefinite program. However, so far I have not been able to do so. Different sources formulate it differently. For example, ...
