We prove the entropy photon-number inequality for two independent bosonic inputs with finite mean energy, for every finite number of modes. This resolves the entropy photon-number conjecture in this finite-energy setting while allowing arbitrary entanglement among the modes within either input. As a consequence, we determine the exact minimum output entropy at fixed input entropy for every finite tensor power of an identical thermal attenuator, over finite-energy inputs that may be entangled across modes. We also obtain the exact classical capacity region of the degraded two-receiver…
