Minimum output entropy conjecture for multi-mode Gaussian quantum channels
Minimum output entropy conjecture for multi-mode Gaussian quantum channels
Let , and let be a finite-entropy state of an -mode Gaussian quantum system. Let be the entropy function for a single-mode thermal Gaussian state, and define
so that . Denote by , , , and the -mode Gaussian attenuator, amplifier, phase-contravariant channel, and additive-noise channel, respectively. Minimum output entropy conjecture. Quantum Gaussian thermal input states minimize the output entropy of these channels among all input states with the same entropy; explicitly,
The conjecture concerns the minimum output entropy at fixed input entropy for important multi-mode Gaussian channels and underlies entropy and communication-rate bounds. The supplied text does not establish its resolution or specify which parameter regimes are known, so its status remains open.
