Entropic uncertainty relation and strong subadditvity of quantum channels

Gao Li, Marius Junge, Nicholas D. LaRacuente

We extend the entropic uncertainty principle from quantum measurements to quantum channels. This is obtained via a generalized strong subadditivity (SSA) of quantum entropy. Motivated by Petz's algebraic SSA inequality, we also obtain a generalized strong subadditivity of quantum relative entropy. The English version of this article is available at arXiv:2301.08402.

Reexamination of strong subadditivity: A quantum-correlation approach

Razieh Taghiabadi, Seyed Javad Akhtarshenas, Mohsen Sarbishaei

The strong subadditivity inequality of von Neumann entropy relates the entropy of subsystems of a tripartite state ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{ABC}$ to that of the composite system. Here, we define ${\mathbit{T}}^{(a)}({\ensuremath{\rho}}_{ABC})$ as the extent to which ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{ABC}$ fails to satisfy the strong subadditivity inequality $S({\ensuremath{\rho}}_{B})+S({\ensuremath{\rho}}_{C})\ensuremath{\le}S({\ensuremath{\rho}}_{AB})+S({\ensuremath{\rho}}_{AC})$ with equality and investigate its properties. In particular, by introducing auxiliary subsystem $E$, we consider any purification $|{\ensuremath{\psi}}_{ABCE}\ensuremath{\rangle}$ of ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{ABC}$ and formulate ${\mathbit{T}}^{(a)}({\ensuremath{\rho}}_{ABC})$ as the extent to which the bipartite quantum correlations of ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{AB}$ and ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{AC}$, measured by entanglement of formation and quantum discord, change under the transformation $B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}BE$ and $C\ensuremath{\rightarrow}CE$. Invariance of quantum correlations of ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{AB}$ and ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{AC}$ under such transformation is shown to be a necessary and sufficient condition for vanishing ${\mathbit{T}}^{(a)}({\ensuremath{\rho}}_{ABC})$. Our approach allows one to characterize, intuitively, the structure of states for which the strong subadditivity is saturated. Moreover, along with providing a conservation law for quantum correlations of states for which the strong subadditivity inequality is satisfied with equality, we find that such states coincide with those that the Koashi-Winter monogamy relation is saturated.

The strong subadditivity of holographic entanglement entropy ; from boundary to bulk

Ali Izadi Rad

One decade ago, Ryu-Takayanagi explicitly introduced a formula that relates the entropy of a subregion in CFT system to a geometrical quantity which is called minimal surface in hyperbolic space. This formula extended to the idea of connection of gravy to quantum mechanics of gauge/gravity duality. This duality which can help us to learn a more interesting feature of each side from the other. Quantum systems obey from some constraints come from the quantum information theory. I would be interesting to find out what is the dual of this constraint in the gravitation system. Dual to the specific class of quantum theories which is called conformal field theories. One of the most significant constraint that QFTs should obey is the strong subadditivity of entanglement entropy. These constraints let the theories have bound on the energy spectrum from the below; Recently there has been the development that the combination of monotonicity of relative entropy and the strong subadditivity of entanglement entropy is equal to have a specific bound on the energy momentum tensor, called quantum null energy condition. In this thesis, we re-look to this argument by introducing the entanglement density and obtain a differential operator from the strong subadditivity and exploiting from the Markov property of the vacuum of CFT. In the next step, by using from the Ryu-Takayangi, we rewrite the strong subadditivity inequality regarding geometrical quantities. By using from the kinematic languages and intertwinement, we realize that the strong subadditivity at the boundary implies new bound on averaged energy condition which has some common feature with the quantum null energy condition statement.
