Generalized mutual information of quantum critical chains

Universal behavior of the Shannon and Rényi mutual information of quantum critical chains

Mutual Information and Information Gating in Synfire Chains

Coherent neuronal activity is believed to underlie the transfer and processing of information in the brain. Coherent activity in the form of synchronous firing and oscillations has been measured in many brain regions and has been correlated with enhanced feature processing and other sensory and cognitive functions. In the theoretical context, synfire chains and the transfer of transient activit...

Geometric mutual information at classical critical points.

A practical use of the entanglement entropy in a 1D quantum system is to identify the conformal field theory describing its critical behavior. It is exactly (c/3)lnℓ for an interval of length ℓ in an infinite system, where c is the central charge of the conformal field theory. Here we define the geometric mutual information, an analogous quantity for classical critical points. We compute this f...

Optimization of Quantum Information Processing Maximizing the Mutual Information

A model of quantum noisy channel with input encoding by a classical random vector is described. An equation of optimality is derived to determine a complete set of wave functions describing quantum decodings based on quasi-measurements maximizing the classical amount of transmitted information. A solution of this equation is found for the Gaussian multimode case with input Gaussian distribution...

Instruments and Mutual Entropies in Quantum Information

General quantum measurements are represented by instruments. In this paper the mathematical formalization is given of the idea that an instrument is a channel which accepts a quantum state as input and produces a probability and an a posteriori state as output. Then, by using mutual entropies on von Neumann algebras and the identification of instruments and channels, many old and new informatio...
