• Abstract: In this work, we study two different approaches to defining the entropy of a quantum channel. One of these is based on the von Neumann entropy of the corresponding Choi-Jamio{\l}kowski state. The second one is based on the relative entropy of the output of the extended channel relative to the output of the extended completely depolarizing channel. This entropy then needs to be optimized over all possible input states. Our results first show that the former entropy provides an upper bound on the latter. Next, we show that for unital qubit channels, this bound is saturated. Finally, we conjecture and provide numerical intuitions that the bound can also be saturated for random channels as their dimension tends to infinity.

  We consider the problem in its generality for memoryless channels with finite output, but arbitrary input alphabets. Our main findings are that the maximum number of messages thus identifiable scales super-exponentially as $2R,nlog n$ with the block length $n$. Results are shown to generalise directly to classical-quantum channels with finite-dimensional output quantum system.

  We make a number of simplifications in Gour and Friedland's proof of local additivity of minimum output entropy of a quantum channel. We use a different approach to reduce the general case to that of a square positive definite matrix. We extend this result to the maximum relative entropy with respect to a fixed reference state.

• Catalytic Transformations of Pure Entangled States [62.997667081978825]
  Entanglement entropy is the von Neumann entropy of quantum entanglement of pure states. The relation between entanglement entropy and entanglement distillation has been known only for the setting, and the meaning of entanglement entropy in the single-copy regime has so far remained open. Our results imply that entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of entanglement available in a bipartite pure state to be used for quantum information processing, giving results an operational meaning also in entangled single-copy setup.
