Abstract
The minimum Rényi and Wehrl output entropies are found for bosonic channels in which the signal photons are either randomly displaced by a Gaussian distribution (classical-noise channel), or coupled to a thermal environment through lossy propagation (thermal-noise channel). It is shown that the Rényi output entropies of integer orders and the Wehrl output entropy are minimized when the channel input is a coherent state.
