Classical communication through quantum causal structures.

Quantum mechanics allows operations to be in indefinite causal order. Recently there have been active discussions on enhanced communication strategies through exotic causal structures. In light of this, through the process matrix formalism, we formulate different classical capacities for a bi-partite quantum process. We find that a one-way communication protocol through an arbitrary process cannot outperform a causally separable process, i.e., we can send at most one bit per qubit. Next, we study bi-directional communication through a causally separable process. Our result shows, a bi-directional protocol cannot exceed the limit of one way communication protocol. Finally, we generalise this result to multi-party broadcast communication protocol through a definite ordered process.
