Abstract
Majorization relations have long been known to play a key role in relation with quantum entanglement. For instance, they provide a preorder relation between bipartite pure states that implies the existence of a deterministic LOCC transformation between them. They also express a necessary separability condition for bipartite mixed states. In this talk, I will review the recent progress on the role of majorization theory in quantum communication theory, especially for bosonic Gaussian channels. I will exhibit fundamental majorization relations in optical components, such as beam splitters or parametric amplifiers, and will discuss their application in proving fundamental entropy bounds in quantum channels.
