On the constrained classical capacity of infinite-dimensional covariant quantum channels

Abstract

The additivity of the minimal output entropy and that of the $\chi$-capacity are known to be equivalent for finite-dimensional irreducibly covariant channels. In this paper we formulate a list of conditions allowing to establish similar equivalence for infinite-dimensional covariant channels with constrained input. This is then applied to Bosonic Gaussian channels with quadratic input constraint to extend the classical capacity results of the recent paper \cite{ghg} to the case where the complex structures associated with the channel and with the constraint operator need not commute. In particular, this implies a multimode generalization of the "threshold condition", obtained for single mode in \cite{schaefer}) and the proof of the fact that under this condition the classical "Gaussian capacity" resulting from optimization over Gaussian inputs is equal to the full classical capacity. We also investigate implications of the gauge-covariance condition for the single- and multimode Bosonic Gaussian channels.
