Popis: Simple intuitive models are presented for the capacity and entropy of retro-causal channels in measured ensembles of quantum systems which can be represented as statistical mixtures of pre-selected only and pre- and post-selected systems. Measurement data from a twin Mach-Zehnder interferometer experiment are used in these models to discuss the capacity and entropy of an apparent retro-causal channel observed in the experimental data. It is noted that low capacity/low entropy retro-causal channels can exist in strong measurement systems.
