Abstract: Quantum binary symmetric channels are defined via the invariance of fidelity under unitary transformations of the input density operators. In this definition, they not only include the most studied case of the depolarizing channel but also other channels. We investigate the character of the latter and find the maximum of the coherent information to estimate the capacities of the channels.
