Polymer quantization is as a useful toy model for the mathematical aspects of loop quantum gravity and is interesting in its own right. Analyzing entropies of physically equivalent states in the standard Hilbert space and the polymer…
Entropy of all systems that we understand well is proportional to their volumes except for black holes given by their horizon area. This makes the microstates of any quantum theory of gravity drastically different from the ordinary matter.…
We demonstrate that the entanglement entropy area law for free fermion ground states and the corresponding volume law for highly excited states are related by a position-momentum duality, thus of the same origin. For a typical excited state…
We review old and recent finite de Finetti theorems in total variation distance and in relative entropy, and we highlight their connections with bounds on the difference between sampling with and without replacement. We also establish two…
We present the modified relative entropy of entanglement (MRE) in order to both improve the computability for the relative entropy of entanglement and avoid the problem that the entanglement of formation seems to be greater than…
The relative entropy in two-dimensional field theory is studied on a cylinder geometry, interpreted as finite-temperature field theory. The width of the cylinder provides an infrared scale that allows us to define a dimensionless relative…
In this note we give a characterization of a family of relative entropies on open domain depending on a real parameter $\alpha$ based on recursivity and symmetry. In the cases $\alpha=1$ and $\alpha=0$ we use additionally a weak regularity…
In this paper, we show how the entropy (including the von Neumann entropy obtained by tracing across various sizes of subsystems, the entanglement gap, as well as different degrees of R\'{e}nyi entropy) of the random reduced density…
arXiv:1205.2953 defines an entropy for a gaussian scalar field $\phi$ in an arbitrary region of either a causal set or a continuous spacetime, given only the correlator $\langle\phi(x)\phi(y)\rangle$ within the region. As a first…
Statistical mechanics explains thermodynamics in terms of (quantum) mechanics by equating the entropy of a microstate of a closed system with the logarithm of the number of microstates in the macrostate to which it belongs, but the question…
In this paper we study the notion of estimation entropy recently established by Liberzon and Mitra. This quantity measures the smallest rate of information about the state of a dynamical system above which an exponential state estimation…
The paper analyses stochastic systems describing reacting molecular systems with a combination of two types of state spaces, a finite-dimensional, and an infinite dimenional part. As a typical situation consider the interaction of larger…
We extend the Hanel and Thurner asymptotic analysis to both extensive and non-extensive entropies on the basis of a wide class of entropic forms. The procedure is known to be capable to classify multiple entropy measures in terms of their…
Using random matrix techniques and the theory of Matrix Product States we show that reduced density matrices of quantum spin chains have generically maximum entropy.
Given any half-sided modular inclusion of standard subspaces, we show that the entropy function associated with the decreasing one-parameter family of translated standard subspaces is convex for any given (not necessarily smooth) vector in…
We study the nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of a finite classical system subjected to nongradient forces $\xi$ and maintained at fixed kinetic energy (Hoover-Evans isokinetic thermostat). We assume that the microscopic dynamics is…
Several results of black holes thermodynamics can be considered as firmly founded and formulated in a very general manner. From this starting point we analyse in which way these results may give us the opportunity to gain a better…
We want to relate the concepts of entropy and pressure to that of KMS states for $C^*$-Algebras. Several different definitions of entropy are known in our days. The one we describe here is quite natural and extends the usual one for…
General hyperbolic systems of balance laws with inhomogeneity in space and time in all constitutive functions are studied in the context of relative entropy. A framework is developed in this setting that contributes to a measure-valued weak…
