Abstract

Mutual entropy was introduced in classical communication theories to measure how much information can be transmitted from an input system to an output system. It has been expanded to quantum systems and applied to various physical models. By contrast, quantum Markov chains, introduced as an extension of classical Markov chains, have been used to explain the irreversibility of observed systems. In [1], a physical model used frequently in quantum optics was applied to a quantum Markov chain. The Stinespring-Kraus expression was derived to discuss mutual entropy on quantum Markov chains. Mutual entropy was then computed and irreversibility was examined using numerical experiments. To further the ongoing research, mean mutual entropy is applied here to the same quantum Markov chain as the previous one; necessary discussion is included. © 1997 Scripta Technica, Inc.

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.

On General Quantum Mutual Entropy and Capacity

Noborn Watanabe

In communication processes, a channel has an activity to communicate information of input system to output system. The mutual entropy (information) denotes an amount of information transmitted correctly from the input system to the output system through a channel. The (semi‐classical) mutual entropies for classical input and quantum output were defined by several researchers. The fully quantum mutual entropy, which is called Ohya mutual entropy, for quantum input and output by using the relative entropy was defined by Ohya in 1983, and he extended it to general quantum systems by means of the relative entropy of Araki and Uhlmann. The capacity shows the ability of the information transmission of the channel, which is used as a measure for construction of channels. The fully quantum capacity is formulated by taking the supremum of Ohya mutual entropy with respect to a certain subset of the initial state space. One of the most important theorems in quantum communication theory is coding theorem. The quantum coding theorems are discussed by using the mutual entropy — type measures introduced in the studies of quantum information.In this paper, we compare with these mutual entropy‐type measures in order to obtain most suitable one for discussing the quantum coding theorem. We concretely calculate the quantum capacity for quantum channels.

Numerical Calculation of Quantum Mutual Type Entropies

Noboru Watanabe

The quantum entropy was introduced by von Neumann around 1932, which describes the amont of information of the quantum state itself. It was extended by Ohya for C*‐systems. The quantum relative entropy was first defined by Umegaki for σ ‐finite von Neumann algebras, which denotes a certain difference between two states. It was extended by Araki and Uhlmann for general von Neumann algebras and *‐algebras, respectively. The development of communication theory is closely connected with study of entropy theory. In order to discuss the commuinication processes, we need at least two systems, such as input and output systems. The signal of the input system is carried through a physical device, which is called a channel. The mathematical representation of the channel is a mapping from the input state space to the output state space. The mutual entropy (information) defined by using the relative entropy between the product state consist of the input state and the output state and the compound state given by the communication process, expresses the amount of information correctly transmitted through the channel from the input system to the output system. In classical communication theory, the mutual entropy was formulated by using the joint probability distribution between the input system and the output system. The (semi‐classical) mutual entropies for classical input and quantum output were defined by several researchers. In fully quantum system, there does not exist the joint probability distribution in general. Instead of the joint probability distribution, Ohya invented the quantum (Ohya) compound state, and he introduced the fully quantum mutual entropy (information), which is called Ohya mutual entropy, for quantum input and output systems, describes the amount of information correctly sent from the quantum input system to the quantum output system through the quantum channel. It was extended by Ohya for general quantum systems. Recently Shor and Bennet et al took the coherent entropy and defined the mutual type entropy to discuss a sort of coding theorem for communication processes.In this paper, we concretely calculate these mutual entropy‐type measures for the attenuation channel in order to assay these abilities.

Some Aspects of Entropies for Quantum Processes

Noboru Watanabe, Luigi Accardi, Guillaume Adenier +5 more

The classical entropies were formulated by means of the classical probability theory. The essence of the classical probability theory corresponds to the use of c‐number with commutative property. On the base of the classical probability theory, the classical information theory can be discussed by using the classical entropies. On the other hand, the principle of the quantum phenomenon seems to be having non‐commutative behavior. It leads to the use of the q‐operator with non‐commutative property to introduce the quantum entropies based on the quantum probability theory. In order to discuss the efficiency of the information communication processes, a measure of complexity of initial state itself and a measure of transmitted complexity through communication channels are necessary. Shannon’s entropy and the mutual entropy represent these measures of complexities in classical communication system, respectively. Von Neumann entropy and Ohya mutual entropy relate to these measures of complexities in quantum communication system, respectively. Recently, several mutual entropy type measures (Lindblad—Nielsen entropy and Coherent entropy) were proposed by using an entropy exchange with respect to a channel and an initial state. In this paper, we will show the most suitable one for discuss the efficiency of information transmission for quantum processes. In classical information theory, one of the most important tools to analyze communication processes are the classical coding theorems, which was investigated through the classical dynamical entropy. The classical dynamical entropy was discussed in [1] with respect to a measure preserving transformation defined on a message space for finite partitions of the measure space. In quantum information theory, Emch [2] and Conne, Stormer [3] first studied a complexity of quantum dynamical processes. After that, Ohya introduced a S‐ mixing entropy in general quantum systems, which was natural extension of the von Neumann entropy. Using the S—mixing entropy, Ohya defined a mean entropy and a mean mutual entropy for the quantum dynamical systems. Conne, Narnhoffer and Thirring introduced a dynamical entropy (CNT entropy) [4] and several researchers discussed the CNT entropy [5,6,7,8]. Alicki and Fannes defined a dynamical entropy (AF entropy) [9] using a finite operational partitions of unity. In 1995, Voiculescu proposed a dynamical entropy (dynamical approximation entropy) [10] in C* and W* algebras. Through the quantum Markov process, Accardi, Ohya and Watanabe defined a dynamical entropy (AOW entropy) [11,12] in 1997. Base on transition expectations and liftings in the sense of Accardi and Ohya [13], Kossakowski, Ohya and Watanabe introduced a dynamical entropy (KOW entropy) [14] with respect to completely positive maps in 1999. In this paper, we will discuss the complexity of the quantum dynamical process to calculate the generalized AOW entropy given by KOW entropy.
