We present a quantum information theory that allows for a consistent description of entanglement. It parallels classical (Shannon) information theory but is based entirely on density matrices (rather than probability distributions) for the…

Thermodynamic entropy, as defined by Clausius, characterizes macroscopic observations of a system based on phenomenological quantities such as temperature and heat. In contrast, information-theoretic entropy, introduced by Shannon, is a…

Within its range of applicability, the Boltzmann equation seems unique in its capacity to accurately describe the transition from almost any initial state to a self-equilibrated thermal state. Using information-theoretic methods to rephrase…

An analysis of the thermodynamic behavior of quantum systems can be performed from a geometrical perspective investigating the structure of the state space. We have developed such an analysis for nonextensive thermostatistical frameworks,…

We generalize the Shannon's information theory in a nonadditive way by focusing on the source coding theorem. The nonadditive information content we adopted is consistent with the concept of the form invariance structure of the nonextensive…

It is shown that there is a mapping of the replica approach to disordered systems with finite replica index $n$ on the Tsallis non-extensive statistics, if the average thermodynamic entropy differs from the information entropy for the…

The formalism of statistical mechanics can be generalized by starting from more general measures of information than the Shannon entropy and maximizing those subject to suitable constraints. We discuss some of the most important examples of…

Tsallis' non-extensive entropy $S_q$ enables us to treat both a power and exponential evolutions of underlying microscopic dynamics on equal footing by adjusting the variable entropic index $q$ to proper one $q^*$. We propose an alternative…
