The consistency of the Shannon entropy, when applied to outcomes of quantum experiments, is analysed. It is shown that the Shannon entropy is fully consistent and its properties are never violated in quantum settings, but attention must be…

We calculate Shannon information entropy of trapped interacting bosons in both the position and momentum spaces, $S_r$ and $S_k$ respectively. The total entropy maintains the fuctional form $S=a + b \ln N$ for repulsive bosons. At the…

We study an entropy measure for quantum systems that generalizes the von Neumann entropy as well as its classical counterpart, the Gibbs or Shannon entropy. The entropy measure is based on hypothesis testing and has an elegant formulation…

We prove the Shannon's inequality on non-collapsing $\mathsf{RCD}(0,N)$ spaces. In the proof, we use the characterization of the $\mathsf{EVI}_{0,N}$-gradient flow of the relative entropy and the infinitesimal behavior of the heat kernel.…
