By using Wald formalism, we show that the identification between the bulk and boundary conserved quantities induced by the perturbation of generic non-electromagnetic matter field holds not only on top of the asymptotically flat stationary…

Close connections between various notions of entropy and the apparatus of category theory have been observed already in the 1980s and more vigorously developed in the past ten years. The starting point of the paper is the recent categorical…

Entropy production is often interpreted as a proxy for microscopic disorder or environmental roughness in stochastic systems. We test this interpretation using controlled simulations of overdamped stochastic dynamics on curved surfaces in…

In AdS/CFT, the entanglement wedge EW$(B)$ is the portion of the bulk geometry that can be reconstructed from a boundary region $B$; in other words, EW$(B)$ is the hologram of $B$. We extend this notion to arbitrary spacetimes. Given any…

Motivated by the approach of random linear codes, a new distance in the vector space over a finite field is defined as the logarithm of the "surface area" of a Hamming ball with radius being the corresponding Hamming distance. It is named…

Similarity-sensitive entropy measures the uncertainty of a probability law relative to a similarity kernel that encodes the distinguishability between states. We develop a measure-theoretic treatment covering both finite similarity matrices…

The covariant entropy bound states that the entropy, S, of matter on a light-sheet cannot exceed a quarter of its initial area, A, in Planck units. The gravitational entropy of black holes saturates this inequality. The entropy of matter…

We analyze the algebra of boundary observables in canonically quantised JT gravity with or without matter. In the absence of matter, this algebra is commutative, generated by the ADM Hamiltonian. After coupling to a bulk quantum field…

We investigate the detailed properties of Observational entropy, introduced by \v{S}afr\'{a}nek et al. [Phys. Rev. A 99, 010101 (2019)] as a generalization of Boltzmann entropy to quantum mechanics. This quantity can involve multiple…

We use the framework of generalized entanglement wedges to revisit the connected wedge theorem (CWT). This construction identifies an entanglement wedge associated for any bulk region and allows us to rephrase the CWT in terms of the…

Many quantum information theoretic quantities are similar to and/or inspired by thermodynamic quantities, with entanglement entropy being a well-known example. In this paper, we study a less well-known example, capacity of entanglement,…

We introduce the concept of an extremely negatively dependent (END) sequence of random variables with a given common marginal distribution. The END structure, as a new benchmark for negative dependence, is comparable to comonotonicity and…

The aim of this note is to introduce a notion of dynamical entropy, which we call infinite-product entropy, for probability measures on (countable) infinite cartesian product of any measurable space with itself. The idea behind the…

In the past several years, observational entropy has been developed as both a (time-dependent) quantum generalization of Boltzmann entropy, and as a rather general framework to encompass classical and quantum equilibrium and non-equilibrium…

Relative entropy between two states in the same Hilbert space is a fundamental statistical measure of the distance between these states. Relative entropy is always positive and increasing with the system size. Interestingly, for two states…

Although the third law of thermodynamics was established almost a century ago, it is not yet universally considered to be a fundamental law of physics. A major problem is that there are many materials having residual entropy. Amorphous…
