Optimizing entropy relative to a channel or a subalgebra

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

After recalling definition, monotonicity, concavity, and continuity of a channel's entropy with respect to a state (finite dimensional cases only), I introduce the roof property, a convex analytic tool, and show its use in treating an example. Full proofs and more examples will appear elsewhere. The relation (a la Benatti) to accessible information is mentioned.
