Connecting the von Neumann and Renyi entropies for Fermions

Quantum Physics 2012-10-26 v1

Abstract

We explore the relation between the von Neumann entropy and the Renyi entropies of integer orders for shift-invariant quasi-free Fermionic lattice systems. We investigate approximating the von Neumann entropy by a combination of integer-order Renyi entropies and give an estimate for the quality of such an approximation.
