Statistical mechanics can predict thermal equilibrium states for most classical systems, but for an isolated quantum system there is no general understanding on how equilibrium states dynamically emerge from the microscopic Hamiltonian. For…
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…

Coherent states (CS) quantum entropy can be split into two components. The dynamical entropy is linked with the dynamical properties of a quantum system. The measurement entropy, which tends to zero in the semiclassical limit, describes the…
We ascertain, following ideas of Arnesen, Bose, and Vedral concerning thermal entanglement [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87} (2001) 017901] and using the statistical tool called {\it entropic non-triviality} [Lamberti, Martin, Plastino, and Rosso,…
