Quantum mutual entropy and quantum capacity are rigorously defined by Ohya, and they are quite useful in the study of quantum communication processes [4, 7, 8, 9,10]. Mathematical models of optical communication processes are described by a quantum channel and optical states, and quantum capacity is one of the most important criteria to measure the efficiency of information transmission [4,7,8]. In actual optical communication, a laser beam is used for a signal, and it is denoted mathematically by a coherent state. Further, optical communication using a squeezed state, which is expected to be more efficient than that using a coherent state is proposed. In this paper, we define several quantum channels, that is, a squeezed channel and a coherent channel and so on. We compare them by calculating quantum capacity.

In communication processes, a channel has an activity to communicate information of input system to output system. The mutual entropy (information) denotes an amount of information transmitted correctly from the input system to the output system through a channel. The (semi‐classical) mutual entropies for classical input and quantum output were defined by several researchers. The fully quantum mutual entropy, which is called Ohya mutual entropy, for quantum input and output by using the relative entropy was defined by Ohya in 1983, and he extended it to general quantum systems by means of the relative entropy of Araki and Uhlmann. The capacity shows the ability of the information transmission of the channel, which is used as a measure for construction of channels. The fully quantum capacity is formulated by taking the supremum of Ohya mutual entropy with respect to a certain subset of the initial state space. One of the most important theorems in quantum communication theory is coding theorem. The quantum coding theorems are discussed by using the mutual entropy — type measures introduced in the studies of quantum information.In this paper, we compare with these mutual entropy‐type measures in order to obtain most suitable one for discussing the quantum coding theorem. We concretely calculate the quantum capacity for quantum channels.
The quantum entropy was introduced by von Neumann around 1932, which describes the amont of information of the quantum state itself. It was extended by Ohya for C*‐systems. The quantum relative entropy was first defined by Umegaki for σ ‐finite von Neumann algebras, which denotes a certain difference between two states. It was extended by Araki and Uhlmann for general von Neumann algebras and *‐algebras, respectively. The development of communication theory is closely connected with study of entropy theory. In order to discuss the commuinication processes, we need at least two systems, such as input and output systems. The signal of the input system is carried through a physical device, which is called a channel. The mathematical representation of the channel is a mapping from the input state space to the output state space. The mutual entropy (information) defined by using the relative entropy between the product state consist of the input state and the output state and the compound state given by the communication process, expresses the amount of information correctly transmitted through the channel from the input system to the output system. In classical communication theory, the mutual entropy was formulated by using the joint probability distribution between the input system and the output system. The (semi‐classical) mutual entropies for classical input and quantum output were defined by several researchers. In fully quantum system, there does not exist the joint probability distribution in general. Instead of the joint probability distribution, Ohya invented the quantum (Ohya) compound state, and he introduced the fully quantum mutual entropy (information), which is called Ohya mutual entropy, for quantum input and output systems, describes the amount of information correctly sent from the quantum input system to the quantum output system through the quantum channel. It was extended by Ohya for general quantum systems. Recently Shor and Bennet et al took the coherent entropy and defined the mutual type entropy to discuss a sort of coding theorem for communication processes.In this paper, we concretely calculate these mutual entropy‐type measures for the attenuation channel in order to assay these abilities.

In classical information theory, the most important theorems are the coding theorems, which were discussed by calculating the mean entropy and the mean mutual entropy defined by the classical dynamical entropy (Kolmogorov–Sinai). The quantum dynamical entropy was first studied by Emch [13] and Connes–Stormer [11]. After that, several approaches for introducing the quantum dynamical entropy were proposed [10,[Formula: see text]3,[Formula: see text]8,[Formula: see text]39,[Formula: see text]15,[Formula: see text]44,[Formula: see text]9,[Formula: see text]27,[Formula: see text]28,[Formula: see text]2,[Formula: see text]19,[Formula: see text]45]. The efficiency of information transmission for the quantum processes is investigated by using the von Neumann entropy [22] and the Ohya mutual entropy [24]. These entropies were extended to S-mixing entropy by Ohya [26,[Formula: see text]27] in general quantum systems. The mean entropy and the mean mutual entropy for the quantum dynamical systems were introduced based on the S-mixing entropy. In this paper, based on research into the dynamical entropy and mean mutual entropy of quantum systems, this study investigates the characteristics of quantum channels that exhibit entanglement, a property unique to quantum systems, and investigates the behaviour of quantum entropy for compound quantum channels by changing the perspective from information transmission between input and output to a new perspective of information transmission from the initial state to the final state.
The study of mutual entropy (information) and capacity in classica l system was extensively done after Shannon by several authors like Kolmogor ov and Gelfand. In quantum systems, there have been several definitions of t he mutual entropy for classical input and quantum output. In 1983, the autho r defined the fully quantum mechanical mutual entropy by means of the relati ve entropy of Umegaki, and it has been used to compute the capacity of quant um channel for quantum communication process; quantum input-quantum output. Recently, a correlated state in quantum syatems, so-called quantum entangled state or quantum entanglement, are used to study quntum information, in part icular, quantum computation, quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography. In this paper, we mainly discuss three things below: (1) We point out the di fference between the capacity of quantum channel and that of classical-quant um-classical channel. (2) So far the entangled state is merely defined as a non-separable state, we give a wider definition of the entangled state and c lassify the entangled states into three categories. (3) The quantum mutual e ntropy for an entangled state is discussed. The above (2) and (3) are a join t work with Belavkin.
