<div><br></div>
<blockquote>Several of the unsolved questions in quantum information
theory deal with the additivity of various entropy-related formulas
and capacities. We will discuss these questions, and show that
several of them are related. Namely, the additivity of the
entanglement of formation, of the Holevo capacity, of the minimum
entropy output, and the strong superadditivity of the entanglement of
formation, are either all true or all false.</blockquote>
