Abstract
We study multi-qubit quantum channels that can be represented as a product of one-mode fermionic attenuation channels. An explicit formula for the classical capacity and for the minimum output entropy of these channels is proposed. We compute analytically for any number of qubits under assumption that the minimum is achieved on a Gaussian input. Apart from that, a simple numerical method for evaluating is developed. The method is applicable to any channels that are sufficiently noisy. For fermionic product channels the proposed formula for agrees with the numerical results with a precision about .
