Abstract
A complete classification of one-mode Gaussian channels is given up to canonical unitary equivalence. We also comment on the quantum capacity of these channels. A channel complementary to the quantum channel with additive classical Gaussian noise is described, providing an example of a one-mode Gaussian channel which is neither degradable nor antidegradable.
