Rényi entropy flows from quantum heat engines
We evaluate Rényi entropy flows from generic quantum heat engines (QHE) to a weakly coupled probe environment kept in thermal equilibrium. We show that the flows are determined not only by heat flow but also by a quantum coherent flow that can be separately measured in experiment apart from the heat flow measurement. The same pertains to Shannon entropy flow. This appeals for a revision of the ...
متن کاملQuantum thermodynamic cycles and quantum heat engines.
In order to describe quantum heat engines, here we systematically study isothermal and isochoric processes for quantum thermodynamic cycles. Based on these results the quantum versions of both the Carnot heat engine and the Otto heat engine are defined without ambiguities. We also study the properties of quantum Carnot and Otto heat engines in comparison with their classical counterparts. Relat...
متن کاملSmooth Entropy and Rényi Entropy
The notion of smooth entropy allows a unifying, generalized formulation of privacy ampli-cation and entropy smoothing. Smooth entropy is a measure for the number of almost uniform random bits that can be extracted from a random source by probabilistic algorithms. It is known that the R enyi entropy of order at least 2 of a random variable is a lower bound for its smooth entropy. On the other ha...
متن کاملMinimal Rényi-Ingarden-Urbanik Entropy of Multipartite Quantum States
We study the entanglement of a pure state of a composite quantum system consisting of several subsystems with d levels each. It can be described by the Rényi–Ingarden–Urbanik entropy Sq of a decomposition of the state in a product basis, minimized over all local unitary transformations. In the case q = 0, this quantity becomes a function of the rank of the tensor representing the state, while i...
متن کاملMaximum Rényi Entropy Rate
Two maximization problems of Rényi entropy rate are investigated: the maximization over all stochastic processes whose marginals satisfy a linear constraint, and the Burg-like maximization over all stochastic processes whose autocovariance function begins with some given values. The solutions are related to the solutions to the analogous maximization problems of Shannon entropy rate.
