Candidate pure-loss second-order converse
Does the pure-loss bosonic channel admit the following candidate second-order classical converse under a maximum-photon-number occupation constraint?
Solved -
Holevo random-coding exponent for classical–quantum channels
Does every memoryless classical–quantum channel with a finite input alphabet and finite-dimensional output satisfy the random-coding lower bound in Eq. (5), including channels with mixed, noncommuting output states?

Low-energy Holevo additivity for a squeezed thermal attenuator
Is energy-constrained Holevo information additive for a squeezed thermal attenuator below its water-filling threshold?
Unsolved -
Closed-form nonadditivity of the Holevo capacity and entanglement of formation
Construct a simple closed-form or practically computable counterexample to additivity of the Holevo capacity or the entanglement of formation, together with a rigorous certificate of a strict violation.

Uniformly efficient HSW pretty-good decoding
Can Holevo–Schumacher–Westmoreland codebooks operating at every rate below their ensemble Holevo information be chosen so that their square-root, or pretty-good, measurements have uniform quantum implementations whose cost is polynomial in the blocklength and…

Structural criterion for classical–entanglement trade-off advantage
Characterize the finite-dimensional quantum channels for which joint classical–entanglement coding strictly outperforms time sharing between unassisted and unlimited-entanglement classical communication.
