In standard quantum theory, the ideas of information-entropy and of pure states are closely linked. States are represented by density matrices $\rho$ on a Hilbert space and the information-entropy $-tr(\rho\log\rho)$ is minimised on pure…

Coarse graining enables the investigation of molecular dynamics for larger systems and at longer timescales than is possible at atomic resolution. However, a coarse graining model must be formulated such that the conclusions we draw from it…

Regarding the strange properties of quantum entropy and entanglement, e.g., the negative quantum conditional entropy, we revisited the foundations of quantum entropy, namely, von Neumann entropy, and raised the new method of quantum…
