Both output states have the same reference marginal, and . Expand quantum mutual information to obtain the mutual information and coherent information identityThe input-entropy term is identical in the two expressions. Subtract them and use the preceding data-processing inequality for coherent information:Thus the final quantum channel cannot increase the reference-output quantum mutual information, as required by data processing for quantum mutual information.
