We introduce a new notion of entropy for quantum states, called contextual entropy, and show how it unifies Shannon and von Neumann entropy. The main result is that from the knowledge of the contextual entropy of a quantum state of a…

A method for characterising the wave-function of freely-propagating particles would provide a useful tool for developing quantum-information technologies with single electronic excitations. Previous continuous-variable quantum tomography…
We consider the inverse problem of determining a time-dependent damping coefficient $a$ and a time-dependent potential $q$, appearing in the wave equation $\partial_t^2u-\Delta_x u+a(t,x)\partial_tu+q(t,x)u=0$ in $Q=(0,T)\times\Omega$, with…
We derive relativistic hydrodynamics from quantum field theories by assuming that the density operator is given by a local Gibbs distribution at initial time. We decompose the energy-momentum tensor and particle current into nondissipative…
The relativistic method of moments is one of the most successful approaches to extract second order viscous hydrodynamics from a kinetic underlying background. The equations can be systematically improved to higher order, and they have…

Non-relativistic quantum mechanics is reformulated here based on the idea that relational properties among quantum systems, instead of the independent properties of a quantum system, are the most fundamental elements to construct quantum…
