Abstract

There have been several upper bounds on the quantum capacity of the single-mode Gaussian channels with thermal noise, such as thermal attenuator and amplifier. We consider a class of attenuator and amplifier with more general noises, including squeezing or even non-Gaussian cases. We introduce new upper bounds on the energy-constrained quantum capacity of those channels by using the conditional quantum entropy power inequality. Also, we obtain lower bounds for the same channels by means of Gaussian optimizer with fixed input entropy. They give narrow bounds when the transmissivity is near unity and the energy of input state is low.
