The unassisted classical capacity of the generalized amplitude-damping channel
Claims that for every γ,ν∈[0,1] the unassisted classical capacity of Aγ,ν equals its one-shot Holevo capacity, given by maxp∈[0,1][h((1−γ)p+γν)−g(γν(1−ν)+γ(1−γ)(p−ν)2)] in bits, with g the entropy of a qubit state of given determinant, attained by two equiprobable pure signals of opposite phase and their independent products. It also claims additivity of one-shot Holevo capacity, minimum output entropy and regularized classical capacity under tensoring with any finite-dimensional channel. It does NOT give the quantum or private capacity of the channel, entanglement-assisted settings, or a closed form for the maximizing p.
