Subadditivity of the minimum output entropy and superactivation of the classical capacity of quantum multiple access channels

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study subadditivity of the minimum output entropy (HminH_{min}) of quantum multiple access channels (MACs). We provide an example of violation of the additivity theorem for HminH_{min} known in classical information theory. Our result is based on a fundamental property of MACsMACs i.e. independence of each sender. The channels used in the example can be constructed explicitly. On the basis of subadditivity of HminH_{min} we also provide an example of extremal superadditivity (super activation) of the classical capacity region of MACs.
