We introduce a well-defined and unbiased measure of the strength of correlations in quantum many-particle systems which is based on the relative von Neumann entropy computed from the density operator of correlated and uncorrelated states.…

I show that non-decreasing entropy provides a necessary and sufficient condition to convert the state of a physical system into a different state by a reversible transformation that acts on the system of interest and a further "catalyst"…

We give a very simple proof of a strengthened version of Chernoff's Inequality. We derive the same conclusion from much weaker assumptions.

We show how recent results of Lieb and Seiringer [math-ph/0412009; Phys. Rev. A 71, 062329 (2005)] can be obtained from repeated use of the monotonicity of relative entropy under partial traces, and explain how to use their approach to…

Fundamental properties for the Tsallis relative entropy in both classical and quantum systems are studied. As one of our main results, we give the parametric extension of the trace inequality between the quantum relative entropy and the…

While most useful information theoretic inequalities can be deduced from the basic properties of entropy or mutual information, Shannon's entropy power inequality (EPI) seems to be an exception: available information theoretic proofs of the…

This article consists of a very short introduction to classical and quantum information theory. Basic properties of the classical Shannon entropy and the quantum von Neumann entropy are described, along with related concepts such as…

We propose a field theory argument, which rests on the non-renormalization of the two point function of the energy-momentum tensor, why the ratio between the entropies of strongly coupled and weakly coupled N=4 is of order one.

This text studies, on the one hand, certain monotonicity properties of the Araki-Uhlmann relative entropy and, on the other hand, unbounded perturbation theory of KMS-states which facilitates a proof of the two-sided Bogoliubov inequality…

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 show that the thermal subadditivity of entropy provides a common basis to derive a strong form of the bounded difference inequality and related results as well as more recent inequalities applicable to convex Lipschitz functions, random…

A strong submeasure on a compact metric space X is a sub-linear and bounded operator on the space of continuous functions on X. A strong submeasure is positive if it is non-decreasing. By Hahn-Banach theorem, a positive strong submeasure is…

This is an introduction of a book called "strong regularity", to appear at Ast\'erisque, containing: 1) Yoccoz' proof of Jakobson theorem www.college-de-france.fr/media/jean-christophe-yoccoz/UPL7416254474776698194_Jakobson_jcy.pdf 2)…

Quantum gravity, and quantum cosmology, is not yet a complete nor consistent theory. One of the reasons for this is that the identification of the quantum of gravity is still very elusive. Here we show that the quantum of gravity is the…

Metz et al PRL (83), 1542 (1999) have presented evidence for supersymmetry in atomic nuclei but their model Hamiltonian fails to distinguish between irreducible representations that occur with multiplicities greater than one. This failure…

The impossibility of theories with hidden variables as an alternative and replacement for quantum mechanics was discussed by J. von Neumann in 1932. His proof was criticized as being logically circular, by Grete Hermann soon after, and as…

We show that a QWEP von Neumann algebra has the weak* positive approximation property if and only if it is seemingly injective in the following sense: there is a factorization of the identity of $M$ $$Id_M=vu: M{\buildrel…

This article presents a concise proof of the famous Benford's law when the distribution has a Riemann integrable probability density function and provides a criterion to judge whether a distribution obeys the law. The proof is intuitive and…

Weakly almost i.i.d. quantum sources are sequences of multipartite states whose fixed-size marginals converge, on average, to tensor powers of a reference state, while allowing arbitrary global correlations and entanglement. We establish…

A simple minimalist argument is given for why some correlations between quantum systems boggle our classical intuition. The argument relies on two elementary physical assumptions, and recovers the standard experimentally-testable Bell…
