Additivity and multiplicativity properties of some Gaussian channels for Gaussian inputs

Quantum Physics 2009-11-11 v3

Abstract

We prove multiplicativity of maximal output pp norm of classical noise channels and thermal noise channels of arbitrary modes for all p>1p>1 under the assumption that the input signal states are Gaussian states. As a direct consequence, we also show the additivity of the minimal output entropy and that of the energy-constrained Holevo capacity for those Gaussian channels under Gaussian inputs. To the best of our knowledge, newly discovered majorization relation on symplectic eigenvalues, which is also of independent interest, plays a central role in the proof.
