Classical capacity of fermionic product channels

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

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 C1C_1 and for the minimum output entropy SminS_{min} of these channels is proposed. We compute SminS_{min} 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 SminS_{min} is developed. The method is applicable to any channels that are sufficiently noisy. For fermionic product channels the proposed formula for SminS_{min} agrees with the numerical results with a precision about 10910^{-9}.
