For a quantum state undergoing unitary Schr\"odinger time evolution, the von Neumann entropy is constant. Yet the second law of thermodynamics, and our experience, show that entropy increases with time. Ingarden introduced the quantum…
In statistical mechanics, it is well known that finite-state classical lattice models can be recast as quantum models, with distinct classical configurations identified with orthogonal basis states. This mapping makes classical statistical…
A formalism for studying the dynamics of quantum systems embedded in classical spin baths is introduced. The theory is based on generalized antisymmetric brackets and predicts the presence of open-path off-diagonal geometric phases in the…
It is shown that if (M,phi,alpha) is a W*-dynamical system with M a type I von Neumann algebra then the entropy of alpha w.r.t. phi equals the entropy of the restriction of alpha to the center of M. If furthermore (N,psi,beta) is a…
We present some new results which relate information to chaotic dynamics. In our approach the quantity of information is measured by the Algorithmic Information Content (Kolmogorov complexity) or by a sort of computable version of it…
We study the quantization of two examples of classically chaotic dynamics, the Anosov dynamics of "cat maps" on a two dimensional torus, and the dynamics of baker's maps. Each of these dynamics is implemented as a discrete group of…
In these notes we will give an overview and road map for a definition and characterization of (relative) entropy for both classical and quantum systems. In other words, we will provide a consistent treatment of entropy which can be applied…
In classical physics, entropy quantifies the randomness of large systems, where the complete specification of the state, though possible in theory, is not possible in practice. In quantum physics, despite its inherently probabilistic…
We construct a complete set of Wannier functions which are localized at both given positions and momenta. This allows us to introduce the quantum phase space, onto which a quantum pure state can be mapped unitarily. Using its probability…
For any discrete time dynamical system with a rational evolution, we define an entropy, which is a global index of complexity for the evolution map. We analyze its basic properties and its relations to the singularities and the…
The theory of noncommutative dynamical entropy and quantum symbolic dynamics for quantum dynamical systems is analised from the point of view of quantum information theory. Using a general quantum dynamical system as a communication channel…
We establish a new class of entropy structures for \(3\)-wave kinetic equations with a broad family of interaction weights. Unlike the classical entropies arising from detailed balance, these estimates are generated by a one-sided algebraic…
We compute the entropy of entanglement between the first $N$ spins and the rest of the system in the ground states of a general class of quantum spin-chains. We show that under certain conditions the entropy can be expressed in terms of…
We propose a theory for coupling matter fields with discrete geometry on higher-order networks, i.e. cell complexes. The key idea of the approach is to associate to a higher-order network the quantum entropy of its metric. Specifically we…
We review our approach to the second law of thermodynamics, viewed as a theorem asserting the growth of the mean (Gibbs-von Neumann) entropy of quantum spin systems undergoing automorphic (unitary) adiabatic transformations. Non-automorphic…
Analytically continuing the von Neumann entropy from R\'enyi entropies is a challenging task in quantum field theory. While the $n$-th R\'enyi entropy can be computed using the replica method in the path integral representation of quantum…
The entropy of a quantum system is a measure of its randomness, and has applications in measuring quantum entanglement. We study the problem of measuring the von Neumann entropy, $S(\rho)$, and R\'enyi entropy, $S_\alpha(\rho)$ of an…
The entropy production rate for an open quantum system with a classically chaotic limit has been previously argued to be independent of $\hbar$ and $D$, the parameter denoting coupling to the environment, and to be equal to the sum of…
Entropy measures quantify the amount of information and correlation present in a quantum system. In practice, when the quantum state is unknown and only copies thereof are available, one must resort to the estimation of such entropy…
