Properties of random mixed states of order $N$ distributed uniformly with respect to the Hilbert-Schmidt measure are investigated. We show that for large $N$, due to the concentration of measure, the trace distance between two random states…

We study lower bounds for the quantum relative entropy between a density matrix and its block-diagonal part. For a block matrix with diagonal blocks A,C>0 and off-diagonal coherence block B, we prove a lower bound expressed through the…

The unitarity of quantum evolutions implies that the overlap between two initial states does not change in time. This property is commonly believed to explain the lack of state sensitivity in quantum theory, a feature that is prevailing in…
