Abstract

Given a quantum channel Φ\Phi in a Hilbert space HH put H^Φ(ρ)=minρav=ρΣj=1kπjS(Φ(ρj))\hat H_{\Phi}(\rho)=\min \limits_{\rho_{av}=\rho}\Sigma_{j=1}^{k}\pi_{j}S(\Phi (\rho_{j})), where ρav=Σj=1kπjρj\rho_{av}=\Sigma_{j=1}^{k}\pi_{j}\rho_{j}, the minimum is taken over all probability distributions π={πj}\pi =\{\pi_{j}\} and states ρj\rho_{j} in HH, S(ρ)=TrρlogρS(\rho)=-Tr\rho\log\rho is the von Neumann entropy of a state ρ\rho. The strong superadditivity conjecture states that H^ΦΨ(ρ)H^Φ(TrK(ρ))+H^Ψ(TrH(ρ))\hat H_{\Phi \otimes \Psi}(\rho)\ge \hat H_{\Phi}(Tr_{K}(\rho))+\hat H_{\Psi}(Tr_{H}(\rho)) for two channels Φ\Phi and Ψ\Psi in Hilbert spaces HH and KK, respectively. We have proved the strong superadditivity conjecture for the quantum depolarizing channel in any dimensions.
