Abstract
In this article we propose a quantum version of Shannon's conditional entropy. Given two density matrices and on a finite dimensional Hilbert space and with being the usual von Neumann entropy, this quantity is concave in and satisfies , a quantum analogue of Shannon's famous inequality. Thus we view as the entropy of conditioned by .
