We know that sub-leading corrections to the hawking area law is riddled with issues which have some convergent and divergent aspects. Depending on the theory, scheme, model or even method sub-leading terms turn out to have trivial and non-…

The main goal of this paper is to extend and apply the principle of maximum entropy (MaxEnt) to incomplete quantum process estimation tasks. We will define a so-called process entropy function being the von Neumann entropy of the state…

Claude Shannon coined entropy to quantify the uncertainty of a random distribution for communication coding theory. We observe that the uncertainty nature of entropy also limits its direct usage in mathematical modeling. Therefore we…

Min-entropy sampling gives a bound on the min-entropy of a randomly chosen subset of a string, given a bound on the min-entropy of the whole string. K\"onig and Renner showed a min-entropy sampling theorem that holds relative to quantum…
