Perturbation theory of von Neumann Entropy
نویسنده
چکیده
In quantum information theory, von Neumann entropy plays an important role. The entropies can be obtained analytically only for a few states. In continuous variable system, even evaluating entropy numerically is not an easy task since the dimension is infinite. We develop the perturbation theory systematically for calculating von Neumann entropy of non-degenerate systems as well as degenerate systems. The result turns out to be a practical way of the expansion calculation of von Neumann entropy.

Quantifying Disorder in Networks: The von Neumann Entropy
The von Neumann entropy (or equivalently quantum entropy) was defined by von Neumann (1955) in his fundational work in quantum mechanics. Nowadays the von Neumann entropy is an important tool in quantum information theory (see Nielsen and Chuang (2001); Ohya and Petz (1993)). In the present work we first associate a graph to a quantum state, injectively. Then, we study the von Neumann entropy o...
متن کاملStabilizer information inequalities from phase space distributions
The Shannon entropy of a collection of random variables is subject to a number of constraints, the best-known examples being monotonicity and strong subadditivity. It remains an open question to decide which of these “laws of information theory” are also respected by the von Neumann entropy of many-body quantum states. In this article, we consider a toy version of this difficult problem by anal...
متن کاملVarious topological forms of Von Neumann regularity in Banach algebras
We study topological von Neumann regularity and principal von Neumann regularity of Banach algebras. Our main objective is comparing these two types of Banach algebras and some other known Banach algebras with one another. In particular, we show that the class of topologically von Neumann regular Banach algebras contains all $C^*$-algebras, group algebras of compact abelian groups and ...
متن کاملA new inequality for the von Neumann entropy
Strong subadditivity of von Neumann entropy, proved in 1973 by Lieb and Ruskai, is a cornerstone of quantum coding theory. All other known inequalities for entropies of quantum systems may be derived from it. Here we prove a new inequality for the von Neumann entropy which we prove is independent of strong subadditivity: it is an inequality which is true for any four party quantum state, provid...
متن کاملInvariant correlational entropy and complexity of quantum states
We define correlational ~von Neumann! entropy for an individual quantum state of a system whose timeindependent Hamiltonian contains random parameters and is treated as a member of a statistical ensemble. This entropy is representation independent, and can be calculated as a trace functional of the density matrix which describes the system in its interaction with the noise source. We analyze pe...
