The von Neumann entropy and the subentropy of a mixed quantum state are upper and lower bounds, respectively, on the accessible information of any ensemble consistent with the given mixed state. Here we define and investigate a set of…
Entropy is a fundamental concept in equilibrium statistical mechanics, yet its origin in the non-equilibrium dynamics of isolated quantum systems is not fully understood. A strong consensus is emerging around the idea that the stationary…
We calculate and analyze various entropy measures and their properties for selected probability distributions. The entropies considered include Shannon, R\'enyi, generalized R\'enyi, Tsallis, Sharma-Mittal, and modified Shannon entropy,…

The paper examines relationships between the Shannon entropy and the $\ell_{\alpha}$-norm for $n$-ary probability vectors, $n \ge 2$. More precisely, we investigate the tight bounds of the $\ell_{\alpha}$-norm with a fixed Shannon entropy,…
We explore the relation between entanglement entropy of quantum many body systems and the distribution of corresponding, properly selected, observables. Such a relation is necessary to actually measure the entanglement entropy. We show that…
We explore the relation between the von Neumann entropy and the Renyi entropies of integer orders for shift-invariant quasi-free Fermionic lattice systems. We investigate approximating the von Neumann entropy by a combination of…
Complementarity relations between various characterizations of a probability distribution are at the core of information theory. In particular, lower and upper bounds for the entropic function are of great importance. In applied topics, we…
This paper reports a new reading for wavelets, which is based on the classical 'De Broglie' principle. The wave-particle duality principle is adapted to wavelets. Every continuous basic wavelet is associated with a proper probability…
We investigate the uncertainty principle for two successive projective measurements in terms of R\'enyi entropy based on a single quantum system. Our results cover a large family of the entropy (including the Shannon entropy) uncertainty…
Shannon entropy for discrete distributions is a fundamental and widely used concept, but its continuous analogue, known as differential entropy, lacks essential properties such as positivity and compatibility with the discrete case. In this…
Entropies must correspond to mean values for them to be measurable. The Shannon entropy corresponds to the weighted arithmetic mean, whereas the Renyi entropy corresponds to the exponential mean. These means refer to code lengths, which are…
Relative entropy is a measure of distinguishability for quantum states, and plays a central role in quantum information theory. The family of Renyi entropies generalizes to Renyi relative entropies that include as special cases most entropy…
A lower bound on the R\'enyi differential entropy of a sum of independent random vectors is demonstrated in terms of rearrangements. For the special case of Boltzmann-Shannon entropy, this lower bound is better than that given by the…
It has long been conjectured that the entropy of quantum fields across boundaries scales as the boundary area. This conjecture has not been easy to test in spacetime dimensions greater than four because of divergences in the von Neumann…
Uniform continuity bounds on entropies are generally expressed in terms of a single distance measure between a pair of probability distributions or quantum states, typically, the total variation distance or trace distance. However, if an…
We propose a new way of defining entropy of a system, which gives a general form which may be nonextensive as Tsallis entropy, but is linearly dependent on component entropies, like Renyi entropy, which is extensive. This entropy has a…
We investigate the universal inequalities relating the alpha-Renyi entropies of the marginals of a multi-partite quantum state. This is in analogy to the same question for the Shannon and von Neumann entropy (alpha=1) which are known to…
This paper gives improved R\'{e}nyi entropy power inequalities (R-EPIs). Consider a sum $S_n = \sum_{k=1}^n X_k$ of $n$ independent continuous random vectors taking values on $\mathbb{R}^d$, and let $\alpha \in [1, \infty]$. An R-EPI…
