The weak law of large numbers implies that, under mild assumptions on the source, the Renyi entropy per produced symbol converges (in probability) towards the Shannon entropy rate. This paper quantifies the speed of this convergence for…
We provide a stochastic extension of the Baez-Fritz-Leinster characterization of the Shannon information loss associated with a measure-preserving function. This recovers the conditional entropy and a closely related information-theoretic…
The von Neumann entanglement entropy is a useful measure to characterize a quantum phase transition. We investigate the non-analyticity of this entropy at disorder-dominated quantum phase transitions in non-interacting electronic systems.…
The information content of a source is defined in terms of the minimum number of bits needed to store the output of the source in a perfectly recoverable way. A similar definition can be given in the case of quantum sources, with qubits…
In a recent paper [PRE 62, 4665 (2000)] (quant-ph/0203102) Manfredi and Feix proposed an alternative definition of quantum entropy based on Wigner phase-space distribution functions and discussed its properties. They proposed also some…
Information inequalities govern the ultimate limitations in information theory and as such play an pivotal role in characterizing what values the entropy of multipartite states can take. Proving an information inequality, however, quickly…
It was recently conjectured by Vivo, Pato, and Oshanin [Phys. Rev. E 93, 052106 (2016)] that for a quantum system of Hilbert dimension $mn$ in a pure state, the variance of the von Neumann entropy of a subsystem of dimension $m\leq n$ is…
The science of thermodynamics was put together in the Nineteenth Century to describe large systems in equilibrium. One part of thermodynamics defines entropy for equilibrium systems and demands an ever-increasing entropy for non-equilibrium…
An alternative method is presented for extracting the von Neumann entropy $-\operatorname{Tr} (\rho \ln \rho)$ from $\operatorname{Tr} (\rho^n)$ for integer $n$ in a quantum system with density matrix $\rho$. Instead of relying on direct…
Thermodynamics can be formulated in either of two approaches, the phenomenological approach, which refers to the macroscopic properties of systems, and the statistical approach, which describes systems in terms of their microscopic…
We present a detailed derivation of some estimators of Shannon entropy for discrete distributions. They hold for finite samples of N points distributed into M "boxes", with N and M -> oo, but N/M < oo. In the high sampling regime (<< 1…
Entanglement is considered a fundamental ingredient for quantum technologies and condensed matter systems are among the good candidates for quantum devices. For bipartite pure states the von Neumann entropy is a proper measure of…
In this article, we present quantum algorithms for estimating von Neumann entropy and Renyi entropy, which are crucial physical and information-theoretical properties of a given quantum state $\rho$. Although there have been existing works…
We discuss information-theoretic concepts on infinite-dimensional quantum systems. In particular, we lift the smooth entropy formalism as introduced by Renner and collaborators for finite-dimensional systems to von Neumann algebras. For the…
The notion of quantized characters is introduced in our previous paper as a natural quantization of characters in the context of asymptotic representation theory for compact quantum groups. As in the case of ordinary groups, the…
A notion of entropy is introduced for causal fermion systems. This entropy is a measure of the state of disorder of a causal fermion system at a given time compared to the vacuum. The definition is given both in the finite and…
In this paper, we develop the notion of entropy for uniform hypergraphs via tensor theory. We employ the probability distribution of the generalized singular values, calculated from the higher-order singular value decomposition of the…
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…
The requirement that an entropy function be composable is key: it means that the entropy of a compound system can be calculated in terms of the entropy of its independent components. We prove that, under mild regularity assumptions, the…
We propose entropy functions based on fractional calculus. We show that this new entropy has the same properties than the Shannon entropy except additivity, therefore making this entropy non-extensive. We show that this entropy function…
