QUANTUM ENTROPY AND INFORMATION IN DISCRETE ENTANGLED STATES
V. P. Belavkin, Masanori Ohya
Quantum entanglements, describing truly quantum couplings, are studied and classified for discrete compound states. We show that classical-quantum correspondences such as quantum encodings can be treated as d-entanglements leading to a special class of separable compound states. The mutual information for the d-compound and for q-compound (entangled) states leads to two different types of entropies for a given quantum state. The first one is the von Neumann entropy, which is achieved as the supremum of the information over all d-entanglements, and the second one is the dimensional entropy, which is achieved at the standard entanglement, the true quantum entanglement, coinciding with a d-entanglement only in the commutative case. The q-conditional entropy and q-capacity of a quantum noiseless channel, defined as the supremum over all entanglements, is given as the logarithm of the dimensionality of the input von Neumann algebra. It can double the classical capacity, achieved as the supremum over all semiquantum couplings (d-entanglements, or encodings), which is bounded by the logarithm of the dimensionality of a maximal Abelian subalgebra. The entropic measure for essential entanglement is introduced.
