Average output entropy for quantum channels
Abstract
We study the regularized average Renyi output entropy of quantum channels. This quantity gives information about the average noisiness of the channel output arising from a typical, highly entangled input state in the limit of infinite dimensions. We find a closed expression for , a quantity which we conjecture to be equal to . We find an explicit form for for some entanglement-breaking channels, and also for the qubit depolarizing channel as a function of the parameter . We prove equality of the two quantities in some cases, in particular we conclude that for both are non-analytic functions of the variable .
