This paper reviews Holevo's contributions to quantum information theory during the 20 century. At that time, he mainly studied three topics, classical-quantum channel coding, quantum estimation with Cramero-Rao approach, and quantum estimation with the group covariant approach. This paper addresses these three topics.
