QUANTUM DYNAMICAL ENTROPY FOR COMPLETELY POSITIVE MAP

Andrzej Kossakowski, Makoto Ohya, N. WATANABE

Abstract

A dynamical entropy for not only shift but also completely positive (CP) map is defined by generalizing the AOW entropy1 defined through quantum Markov chain and AF entropy defined by a finite operational partition. Our dynamical entropy is numerically computed for several models.

Quantum Dynamical Mutual Entropy Based on AOW Entropy

Kyouhei Ohmura, Noboru Watanabe

The classical dynamical mutual entropy measures the average of information content going through a channel. Classical Markovian sources are important in communication theory since they constitute reasonable models for languages. In this paper, we define the quantum dynamical mutual entropy through quantum Markov chains, and we calculate it for several simple models.

Dynamical Entropy

Robert Alicki, M. Fannes

A non-zero Kolmogrov–Sinai entropy for a classical dynamical system is a signature of dynamical instability. This chapter presents an approach to quantifying randomizing dynamical behaviour in deterministic quantum systems based on a spin chain model. The starting point is an operational partition that is refined in the course of time. To each partition corresponds a correlation matrix and the dynamics lead eventually to a shift-invariant state on a quantum spin chain with its associated entropy. General properties and bounds are proved, which allow for the computation of the entropy in a number of simple model systems such as finite systems, shift dynamics on a quantum spin chain, free shifts, and Powers–Price shifts.

On the Debate Concerning the Proper Characterization of Quantum Dynamical Evolution

Michael E. Cuffaro, Wayne C. Myrvold

There has been a long-standing and sometimes passionate debate between physicists over whether a dynamical framework for quantum systems should incorporate not completely positive (NCP) maps in addition to completely positive (CP) maps. Despite the reasonableness of the arguments for complete positivity, we argue that NCP maps should be allowed, with a qualification: these should be understood, not as reflecting ‘not completely positive’ evolution, but as linear extensions, to a system’s entire state space, of CP maps that are only partially defined. Beyond the domain of definition of a partial-CP map, we argue, much may be permitted.

Entropy Type Complexity in Quantum Systems

Noboru Watanabe, Andrei Yu. Khrennikov, Gregg S. Jaeger +2 more

We review a notion of quantum channel and some entropy type complexities for quantum systems. The quantum dynamical entropy for CP map is discussed and numerical computation of this entropy type complexity is accomplished for noisy optical channel.

Open-system quantum dynamics with correlated initial states, not completely positive maps, and non-Markovianity

A. R. Usha Devi, A. K. Rajagopal, Sudha

Dynamical $A$ and $B$ maps have been employed extensively by Sudarshan and co-workers to investigate open-system evolution of quantum systems. A canonical structure of the $A$ map is introduced here. It is shown that this canonical $A$ map enables us to investigate whether the dynamics is completely positive (CP) or not completely positive (NCP) in an elegant way and, hence, it subsumes the basic results on open-system dynamics. Identifying memory effects in open-system evolution is gaining increasing importance recently and, here, a criterion of non-Markovianity, based on the relative entropy of the dynamical state is proposed. The relative entropy difference of the dynamical system serves as a complementary characterization---though not related directly---to the fidelity difference criterion proposed recently. Three typical examples of open-system evolution of a qubit, prepared initially in a correlated state with another qubit (environment), and evolving jointly under a specific unitary dynamics---which corresponds to a NCP dynamical map---are investigated by employing both the relative entropy difference and fidelity difference tests of non-Markovianity. The two-qubit initial states are chosen to be (i) a pure entangled state, (ii) the Werner state, which exemplifies both entangled and separable states of qubits, depending on a real parameter, and (iii) a separable mixed state. Both the relative entropy and fidelity criteria offer a nice display of how non-Markovianity manifests itself in all three examples.
