On Lieb’s conjecture for the Wehrl entropy of Bloch coherent states

چکیده

Lieb’s conjecture for the Wehrl entropy of Bloch coherent states is proved for spin 1 and spin 3/2. Using a geometric representation we solve the entropy integrals for states of arbitrary spin and evaluate them explicitly in the cases of spin 1, 3/2, and 2. We also give a group theoretic proof for all spin of a related inequality. c ©1999 by the author.

Rényi–wehrl Entropies as Measures of Localization in Phase Space

We generalize the concept of the Wehrl entropy of quantum states which gives a basis–independent measure of their localization in phase space. We discuss the minimal values and the typical values of these Rényi–Wehrl entropies for pure states for spin systems. According to Lieb’s conjecture the minimal values are provided by the spin coherent states. Though Lieb’s conjecture remains unproven, w...

B. G. Bodmann (2004): A lower bound for the Wehrl entropy of quantum spin with sharp high-spin asymptotics, Commun. Math. Phys. 250, 287300. Uncertainty principles and optimization constitute a central theme in Bodmann’s research related to harmonic analysis and its applications. For many Hilbert spaces equipped with a reproducing kernel, it seems plausible that kernel functions should be most ...

A Lower Bound for the Wehrl Entropy of Quantum Spin with Sharp High-spin Asymptotics

We derive a lower bound for the Wehrl entropy of a single quantum spin. The high-spin asymptotics of this bound coincides with Lieb’s conjecture up to first order in the inverse spin quantum number. The result presented here may be seen as complementary to the verification of the conjecture in cases of lowest spin by Schupp [Commun. Math. Phys. 207 (1999), 481]. In addition, we extend the valid...

Remarks on the Relation between Quantum and Classical Entropy as Proposed by A. Wehrl

According to Wehrl one associates to every state of a quantum system characterized by a density matrix o a “classical entropy” build up with help of the probability measure (zlwz)dz. Here (zl denotes the coherent state labelled by the point z of the phase space, and dz is the Liouville measure. In [l] and [2] Wehrl stated a number of interesting properties of this classical entropy and its rela...

Wehrl entropy, Lieb conjecture, and entanglement monotones

We propose to quantify the entanglement of pure states of N3N bipartite quantum systems by defining its Husimi distribution with respect to SU(N)3SU(N) coherent states. The Wehrl entropy is minimal if and only if the analyzed pure state is separable. The excess of the Wehrl entropy is shown to be equal to the subentropy of the mixed state obtained by partial trace of the bipartite pure state. T...
