Abstract: We consider the problem of transmitting classical information over a time-invariant channel with memory. A popular class of time-invariant channels with memory are finite-state-machine channels, where a emph{classical} state evolves over time and governs the relationship between the classical input and the classical output of the channel. For such channels, various techniques have been developed for estimating and bounding the information rate. In this paper we consider a class of time-invariant channels where a emph{quantum} state evolves over time and governs the relationship between the classical input and the classical output of the channel. We propose algorithms for estimating and bounding the information rate of such channels. In particular, we discuss suitable graphical models for doing the relevant computations.
