24. We still use qubits here as units, even though for classical communication the more appropriate units are classical bits. However, in our approach the quantum system is closed, so that we always deal with qubits (perhaps sometimes decohered).

30. In M. Horodecki, P. Horodecki, and M. Horodecki, Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 4260 (2000) we used the theorem on additivity of relative entropy of entanglement on Werner states of Ref. [28]. However, quite recently explicit counterexamples to this theorem were provided in K. G. M. Vollbrecht and R. F. Werner, e-print quant-ph/0010095.

48. As a matter of fact, our information-thermodynamics analogy is akin to the Zurek approach [41] to the operations performed by the Maxwell demon as a kind of "demonic evolution" characterized by such special laws as the conservation of physical entropy. Zurek noted that the Shannon entropy and Kolmogorow randomness behave a bit similarly to kinetic and potential energy. We are also looking for a formal analogy between quantum information and energy, work, and other thermodynamical notions. The demonic evolution in our case is constituted by the operations of Alice and Bob over the quantum-communication systems.
