  A new protocol for quantum broadcast channels based on the fully quantum
Slepian-Wolf protocol is presented. The protocol yields an achievable rate
region for entanglement-assisted transmission of quantum information through a
quantum broadcast channel that can be considered the quantum analogue of
Marton's region for classical broadcast channels. The protocol can be adapted
to yield achievable rate regions for unassisted quantum communication and for
entanglement-assisted classical communication; in the case of unassisted
transmission, the region we obtain has no independent constraint on the sum
rate, only on the individual transmission rates. Regularized versions of all
three rate regions are provably optimal.
