We investigate entropy minimization problems for quantum states subject to convex block-separable constraints. Our principal result is a quantitative stability theorem: under a natural confining (fixed-support) hypothesis, if a state has…
We present a formula for the relative entropy S(rho||sigma) of two n mode gaussian states rho, sigma in the boson Fock space. It is shown that the relative entropy has a classical and a quantum part: The classical part consists of a…
The article presents new entropic continuity bounds for conditional expectations and conditional covariance matrices. These bounds are expressed in terms of the relative entropy between different coupling distributions. Our approach…
Quantum many-body states that frequently appear in physics often obey an entropy scaling law, meaning that an entanglement entropy of a subsystem can be expressed as a sum of terms that scale linearly with its volume and area, plus a…
The maximum-entropy sampling problem (MESP) aims to select the most informative principal submatrix of a prespecified size from a given covariance matrix. This paper proposes an augmented factorization bound for MESP based on concave…
Weakly almost i.i.d. quantum sources are sequences of multipartite states whose fixed-size marginals converge, on average, to tensor powers of a reference state, while allowing arbitrary global correlations and entanglement. We establish…
We comment on the recent paper by Ghosh and \v{Z}nidari\v{c} (Phys. Rev. B 105, 144203 (2022)) which studies the growth of the number entropy $S_N$ in the Heisenberg model with random magnetic fields after a quantum quench. The authors…
The rank-size regularity known as Zipf's law is one of scaling laws and frequently observed within the natural living world and in social institutions. Many scientists tried to derive the rank-size scaling relation by entropy-maximizing…
Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$. For $\epsilon>0$ small, we construct non-constant solutions to the Ginzburg-Landau equations $-\Delta u=\frac{1}{\epsilon^2}(1-|u|^2)u$ in $\Omega$ such that on $\partial \Omega$ u…
We review recent results on the semiclassical behaviour of Schr\"{o}dinger operators with Neumann boundary conditions. In this setting, the validity of Weyl's law requires additional conditions on the potential. We will explain the…
The trace distance between two quantum states, $\rho$ and $\sigma$, is an operationally meaningful quantity in quantum information theory. However, in general it is difficult to compute, involving the diagonalization of $\rho - \sigma$. In…
Reconstructing a density of states or similar distribution from moments or continued fractions is an important problem in calculating the electronic and vibrational structure of defective or non-crystalline solids. For single bands a…
We study the Ginzburg-Landau equations in the presence of large electric currents, that are smaller than the critical current where the normal state losses its stability. For steady-state solutions in the large $\kappa$ limit, we prove that…
In the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics and with the help of the Greens functions formalism we study the behavior of weakly bound states as they approach the continuum threshold. Through estimating the Green's function for…
We provide new upper and lower bounds on the minimum possible ratio of the spectral and Frobenius norms of a (partially) symmetric tensor. In the particular case of general tensors our result recovers a known upper bound. For symmetric…
Motivated by the $\Sigma$-hypernuclear states reported in ($K^-,\pi^{\pm}$) experiments, we have explored the possibility that there exists a particle-stable $\Sigma^- nn$ bound state. For the J\"ulich \~A hyperon-nucleon, realistic-force…
The R\'enyi and Shannon entropies are information-theoretic measures which have enabled to formulate the position-momentum uncertainty principle in a much more adequate and stringent way than the (variance-based) Heisenberg-like relation.…
We consider mixed quasi-free states describing $N$ fermions in the mean-field limit. In this regime, the time evolution is governed by the nonlinear Hartree equation. In the large $N$ limit, we study the convergence towards the classical…
We would like to study the solution stability of a parametric control problem governed by semilinear elliptic equations with a mixed state-control constraint, where the cost function is nonconvex and the admissible set is unbounded. The…
We minimise the Canham-Helfrich energy in the class of closed immersions with prescribed genus, surface area and enclosed volume. Compactness is achieved in the class of oriented varifolds. The main result is a lower-semicontinuity estimate…
