Abstract: The capacity of a quantum channel for transmission of classical information depends in principle on whether product states or entangled states are used at the input, and whether product or entangled measurements are used at the output. We show that when product measurements are used, the capacity of the channel is achieved with product input states, so that entangled inputs do not increase capacity. We show that this result continues to hold if sequential measurements are allowed, whereby the choice of successive measurements may depend on the results of previous measurements. We also present a new simplified expression which gives an upper bound for the Shannon capacity of a channel, and which bears a striking resemblance to the well-known Holevo bound.
