We prove a necessary an sufficient condition for the states which satisfy strong subadditivity of von Neumann entropy with equality on CAR algebra and we show an example when the equality holds but the state is not separable.

We present chain rules for a new definition of the quantum R\'enyi conditional entropy sometimes called the "sandwiched" R\'enyi conditional entropy. More precisely, we prove analogues of the equation $H(AB|C) = H(A|BC) + H(B|C)$, which…

We prove a new version of the Uncertainty Principle of the form $\int |f|^2 \lesssim \int_{E^c} |f|^2 + \int_{\Sigma ^c}|\hat f|^2 $ where the sets $E$ and $\Sigma$ are $\epsilon$-thin in the following sense: $|E \cap D(x, \rho_1(x))| \le…

The notion of {\em entanglement entropy} in quantum mechanical systems is an important quantity, which measures how much a physical state is entangled in a composite system. Mathematically, it measures how much the state vector is not…

Given a quantum channel $\Phi $ in a Hilbert space $H$ put $\hat H_{\Phi}(\rho)=\min \limits_{\rho_{av}=\rho}\Sigma_{j=1}^{k}\pi_{j}S(\Phi (\rho_{j}))$, where $\rho_{av}=\Sigma_{j=1}^{k}\pi_{j}\rho_{j}$, the minimum is taken over all…

We define the entropy S and uncertainty function of a squeezed system interacting with a thermal bath, and study how they change in time by following the evolution of the reduced density matrix in the influence functional formalism. As…

Statements of Shannon's Noiseless Coding Theorem by various authors, including the original, are reviewed and clarified. Traditional statements of the theorem are often unclear as to when it applies. A new notation is introduced and the…

A classical upper bound for quantum entropy is identified and illustrated, $0\leq S_q \leq \ln (e \sigma^2 / 2\hbar)$, involving the variance $\sigma^2$ in phase space of the classical limit distribution of a given system. A fortiori, this…

We take the view that the standard von Neumann definition, in which the entropy $S^{vN}$ of a pure state is zero, is in evident conflict with the statement of the second law that the entropy of the universe $S_{univ}$ increases in…

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…

Let $X$ be a Riemann surface, $K_X \rightarrow X$ the canonical bundle, and $T_X= K_X^{-1}\rightarrow X$ the dual bundle of the canonical bundle. For each integer $r \geq 2$, each $q \in H^0(K_X^r)$, and each choice of the square root…

The problem of Shannon entropy estimation in countable infinite alphabets is addressed from the study and use of convergence results of the entropy functional, which is known to be discontinuous with respect to the total variation distance…

Building on the recent work of Johnson (2007) and Yu (2008), we prove that entropy is a concave function with respect to the thinning operation T_a. That is, if X and Y are independent random variables on Z_+ with ultra-log-concave…

Let $q, r, s \geqslant 1$ satisfy $\frac{1}{2q} + \frac{1}{2r} = \frac{1}{s}$ and $X \in \mathcal{C}_s(\mathcal{H})$. If $(\lambda_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}, (w_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ are sequences in $(0,+\infty)$ and $(\lambda_n^{(1-q)/(2q)}…

A geometric characterization is given for invertible quantum measurement maps. Denote by ${\mathcal S}(H)$ the convex set of all states (i.e., trace-1 positive operators) on Hilbert space $H$ with dim$H\leq \infty$, and $[\rho_1, \rho_2]$…

The entanglement entropy of a pure quantum state of a bipartite system is defined as the von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix obtained by tracing over one of the two parts. Critical ground states of local Hamiltonians in one…

We derive upper bounds for Hilbert-Schmidt's quantum coherence of general states of a $d$-level quantum system, a qudit, in terms of its incoherent uncertainty, with the latter quantified using the linear and von Neumann's entropies of the…

We analyze the problem of quantifying entanglement in pure and mixed states of fermionic systems with fixed number parity yet not necessarily fixed particle number. The "mode entanglement" between one single-particle level and its…

We provide a condition under which a version of Shannon's Entropy Power Inequality will hold for dependent variables. We provide information inequalities extending those found in the independent case.

In this paper, we use the information-theoretic approach to study curvature-dimension condition, rigidity theorems and entropy differential inequalities on Riemannian manifolds. We prove the equivalence of the ${\rm CD}(K, m)$-condition for…
