We study an entropy measure for quantum systems that generalizes the von Neumann entropy as well as its classical counterpart, the Gibbs or Shannon entropy. The entropy measure is based on hypothesis testing and has an elegant formulation…
The Shannon entropy in the atomic, molecular and chemical physics context is presented by using as test cases the hydrogenic-like atoms $H_c$, ${He_c}^+$ and ${Li_c}^{2+}$ confined by an impenetrable spherical box. Novel expressions for…
Quantum entropy is an important measure for describing the uncertainty of a quantum state, more uncertainty in subsystems implies stronger quantum entanglement between subsystems. Our goal in this work is to quantify bipartite entanglement…
Shannon entropy in position ($S_{\rvec}$) and momentum ($S_{\pvec}$) spaces, along with their sum ($S_t$) are presented for unit-normalized densities of He, Li$^+$ and Be$^{2+}$ ions, spatially confined at the center of an impenetrable…
We investigate the problem of the existence of a density matrix rho on the product of three Hilbert spaces with given marginals on the pair (1,2) and the pair (2,3). While we do not solve this problem completely we offer partial results in…
It is known that relative entropy of entanglement for entangled state $\rho$ is defined via its closest separable (or positive partial transpose) state $\sigma$. Recently, it has been shown how to find $\rho$ provided that $\sigma$ is given…
A method of representing probabilistic aspects of quantum systems is introduced by means of a density function on the space of pure quantum states. In particular, a maximum entropy argument allows us to obtain a natural density function…
The von Neumann entropy of a $k$-body reduced density matrix $\gamma_k$ quantifies the entanglement between $k$ quantum particles and the remaining ones. In this short paper, we rigorously prove general properties of this entanglement…
In a quantum gravity theory the entropy of entanglement $S$ between the fundamental degrees of freedom spatially divided by a surface is discussed. The classical gravity is considered as an emergent phenomenon and arguments are presented…
The property of superadditivity of the quantum relative entropy states that, in a bipartite system $\mathcal{H}_{AB}=\mathcal{H}_A \otimes \mathcal{H}_B$, for every density operator $\rho_{AB}$ one has $ D( \rho_{AB} || \sigma_A \otimes…
We formulate a universal characterization of the many-particle quantum entanglement in the ground state of a topologically ordered two-dimensional medium with a mass gap. We consider a disk in the plane, with a smooth boundary of length L,…
We address a recent conjecture stated by Z. Van Herstraeten and N.J. Cerf. They claim that the Shannon entropy for positive Wigner functions is bounded below by a positive constant, which can be attained only by Gaussian pure states. We…
It is well known that the von Neumann entropy is continuous on a subset of quantum states with bounded energy provided the Hamiltonian $H$ of the system satisfies the condition $\Tr\exp(-cH)<+\infty$ for any $c>0$. In this note we consider…
For an arbitrary quantum field in flat space with a planar boundary, an entropy of entanglement, associated with correlations across the boundary, is present when the field is in its vacuum state. The vacuum state of the same quantum field…
The uncertainty relation based on the Shannon entropies of the probability densities in position and momentum spaces is improved for quantum systems in arbitrary $D$-dimensional spherically symmetric potentials. To find it, we have used the…
Entropy is a fundamental property of both classical and quantum systems, spanning myriad theoretical and practical applications in physics and computer science. We study the problem of obtaining estimates to within a multiplicative factor…
We consider families of tight upper bounds on the difference $S(\rho)-S(\sigma)$ with the rank/energy constraint imposed on the state $\rho$ which are valid provided that the state $\rho$ partially majorizes the state $\sigma$ and is close…
Quantum states can be subjected to classical measurements, whose incompatibility, or uncertainty, can be quantified by a comparison of certain entropies. There is a long history of such entropy inequalities between position and momentum.…
We prove a variety of new and refined uniform continuity bounds for entropies of both classical random variables on an infinite state space and of quantum states of infinite-dimensional systems. We obtain the first tight continuity estimate…
We propose a universal inequality that unifies the Bousso bound with the classical focussing theorem. Given a surface $\sigma$ that need not lie on a horizon, we define a finite generalized entropy $S_\text{gen}$ as the area of $\sigma$ in…
