We consider ergodic causal classical-quantum channels (cq-channels) which
additionally have a decaying input memory. In the first part we develop some
structural properties of ergodic cq-channels and provide equivalent conditions
for ergodicity. In the second part we prove the coding theorem with weak
converse for causal ergodic cq-channels with decaying input memory. Our proof
is based on the possibility to introduce joint input-output state for the
cq-channels and an application of the Shannon-McMillan theorem for ergodic
quantum states. In the last part of the paper it is shown how this result
implies coding theorem for the classical capacity of a class of causal ergodic
quantum channels.Comment: 19 pages, no figures. Final versio
