Quantum Chaos and Quantum Information: Interactions and Implications
Abstract
The notion of Shannon entropy is crucial for the theory of classical information. In quantum information theory, an analogous key role is played by the von Neumann entropy: quantum information processing is closely related to entropy dynamics. This reveals a direct link with the theory of quantum chaotic systems, which can be characterized by a positive entropy production. Furthermore, noise, which inevitably affects any quantum system, can be modeled by a random quantum operation or by coupling to an environment in a generic chaotic state. In this contribution, we emphasize the universality of quantum chaotic dynamics and discuss its implications for quantum information processing.
