Abstract
It is conjectured that the Holevo capacity of a product channel \Omega \otimes \Phi is achieved when product states are used as input. Amosov, Holevo and Werner have also conjectured that the maximal p-norm of a product channel is achieved with product input states. In this paper we establish both of these conjectures in the case that \Omega is arbitrary and \Phi is a CQ or QC channel (as defined by Holevo). We also establish the Amosov, Holevo and Werner conjecture when \Omega is arbitrary and either \Phi is a qubit channel and p=2, or \Phi is a unital qubit channel and p is integer. Our proofs involve a new conjecture for the norm of an output state of the half-noisy channel I \otimes \Phi, when \Phi is a qubit channel. We show that this conjecture in some cases also implies additivity of the Holevo capacity.
