The Definition of Entropy for Quantum Unstable Systems: A View-Point Based on the Properties of Gamow States

چکیده
In this paper, we review the concept of entropy in connection with the description of quantum unstable systems. We revise the conventional definition of entropy due to Boltzmann and extend it so as to include the presence of complex-energy states. After introducing a generalized basis of states which includes resonances, and working with amplitudes instead of probabilities, we found an expression for the entropy which exhibits real and imaginary components. We discuss the meaning of the imaginary part of the entropy on the basis of the similarities existing between thermal and time evolutions.

A Preferred Definition of Conditional Rényi Entropy
The Rényi entropy is a generalization of Shannon entropy to a one-parameter family of entropies. Tsallis entropy too is a generalization of Shannon entropy. The measure for Tsallis entropy is non-logarithmic. After the introduction of Shannon entropy , the conditional Shannon entropy was derived and its properties became known. Also, for Tsallis entropy, the conditional entropy was introduced a...
متن کاملRelativity and Irreversibility
The dynamical laws of physics in their conventional formulation are time reversible. The description of irreversible phenomena was always thought to be incompatible with the dynamical laws. We have recently discussed [1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12] the origin of irreversible behaviour due to resonances in various Poincaré nonintegrable quantum systems. The analytic extension of the Hamiltonian or Liou...
متن کاملEthics-Based Parenting Model: Definition and training Principles based on Allameh Tabataba'i View Point
Aim: Ethics, that is, a permanent endurance of good moral qualities in the form of "Manesh" in human beings, which can not be achieved through mere moral education. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to obtain an ethics-based approach to parenting. Methods: For this purpose, in the first part of the study, we examined and explained the definition and principles of ethics- based training fr...
متن کاملCreating steep density profile with a separatrix
Themesoscopic properties of a plasma in a cylindrical magnetic field are investigated from the view point of test-particle dynamics. When the system has enough time and spatial symmetries, a Hamiltonian of a test particle is completely integrable and can be reduced to a single degree of freedomHamiltonian for each initial state. The reduced Hamiltonian sometimes has an unstable fixed point (sad...
متن کاملDesigning a quantum genetic controller for tracking the path of quantum systems
Based on learning control methods and computational intelligence, control of quantum systems is an attractive field of study in control engineering. What is important is to establish control approach ensuring that the control process converges to achieve a given control objective and at the same time it is simple and clear. In this paper, a learning control method based on genetic quantum contr...
