Abstract

In quantum information theory, Emch, Conne, and Stormer were the first who studied the complexity of quantum dynamical processes. After that, Ohya introduced the [Formula: see text]-mixing entropy for general quantum systems and he defined the mean entropy and the mean mutual entropy for quantum dynamical systems based on the [Formula: see text]-mixing entropy. Conne, Narnhoffer and Thirring introduced the dynamical entropy (CNT entropy) and several researchers discussed this concept. Alicki and Fannes defined a different dynamical entropy — AF entropy. In 1995, Voiculescu proposed the dynamical approximation entropy. Accardi, Ohya and Watanabe defined yet another dynamical entropy (AOW entropy) through a quantum Markov process in 1997. In 1999, Kossakowski, Ohya and Watanabe introduced the dynamical entropy (KOW entropy) with respect to completely positive maps. In this paper, we discuss the complexity of quantum dynamical processes to calculate the dynamical entropy for noisy optical channels. In order to discuss the efficiency of information communication processes, a measure of complexity of initial state itself and a measure of transmitted complexity through communication channels are necessary. Quantum entropies were formulated on the basis of the quantum probability theory. In quantum communication systems, von Neumann entropy and Ohya mutual entropy relate to these measures of complexities, respectively. Recently, several mutual entropy type measures (Lindblad-Nielsen entropy and coherent entropy) were defined making use of entropy exchange with respect to a channel and initial state. In this paper, we show which of the measures is the most suitable one for discussing the efficiency of information transmission for quantum processes.

Some Aspects of Entropies for Quantum Processes

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.

Quantum transmission processes and their entropies

Noboru Watanabe

In classical information theory, one of the most important theorems are the coding theorems, which were discussed by calculating the mean entropy and the mean mutual entropy defined by the classical dynamical entropy (Kolmogorov-Sinai). The quantum dynamical entropy was first studied by Emch [13] and Connes-Stormer [11]. After that, several approaches for introducing the quantum dynamical entropy are done [10, 3, 8, 39, 15, 44, 9, 27, 28, 2, 19, 45]. The efficiency of information transmission for the quantum processes is investigated by using the von Neumann entropy [22] and the Ohya mutual entropy [24]. These entropies were extended to S- mixing entropy by Ohya [26, 27] in general quantum systems. The mean entropy and the mean mutual entropy for the quantum dynamical systems were introduced based on the S- mixing entropy. In this paper, we discuss the efficiency of information transmission to calculate the mean mutual entropy with respect to the modulated initial states and the connected channel for the quantum dynamical systems.

Note on complexity of quantum transmission processes

Нобoрy Ватанабе, Noboru Watanabe

In 1989, Ohya propose a new concept, so-called Information Dynamics (ID), to investigate complex systems according to two kinds of view points.One is the dynamics of state change and another is measure of complexity.In ID, two complexities C S and T S are introduced.C S is a measure for complexity of system itself, and T S is a measure for dynamical change of states, which is called a transmitted complexity.An example of these complexities of ID is entropy for information transmission processes.The study of complexity is strongly related to the study of entropy theory for classical and quantum systems.The quantum entropy was introduced by von Neumann around 1932, which describes the amount of information of the quantum state itself.It was extended by Ohya for C*-systems before CNT entropy.The quantum relative entropy was first defined by Umegaki for σ-finite von Neumann algebras, which was extended by Araki and Uhlmann for general von Neumann algebras and *-algebras, respectively.By introducing a new notion, the so-called compound state, in 1983 Ohya succeeded to formulate the mutual entropy in a complete quantum mechanical system (i.e., input state, output state and channel are all quantum mechanical) describing the amount of information correctly transmitted through the quantum channel.In this paper, we briefly review the entropic complexities for classical and quantum systems.We introduce some complexities by means of entropy functionals in order to treat the transmission processes consistently.We apply the general frames of quantum communication to the Gaussian communication processes.Finally, we discuss about a construction of compound states including quantum correlations.

On Quantum Entropies for the Compound Quantum Channel

In classical information theory, the most important theorems are the coding theorems, which were discussed by calculating the mean entropy and the mean mutual entropy defined by the classical dynamical entropy (Kolmogorov–Sinai). The quantum dynamical entropy was first studied by Emch [13] and Connes–Stormer [11]. After that, several approaches for introducing the quantum dynamical entropy were proposed [10,[Formula: see text]3,[Formula: see text]8,[Formula: see text]39,[Formula: see text]15,[Formula: see text]44,[Formula: see text]9,[Formula: see text]27,[Formula: see text]28,[Formula: see text]2,[Formula: see text]19,[Formula: see text]45]. The efficiency of information transmission for the quantum processes is investigated by using the von Neumann entropy [22] and the Ohya mutual entropy [24]. These entropies were extended to S-mixing entropy by Ohya [26,[Formula: see text]27] in general quantum systems. The mean entropy and the mean mutual entropy for the quantum dynamical systems were introduced based on the S-mixing entropy. In this paper, based on research into the dynamical entropy and mean mutual entropy of quantum systems, this study investigates the characteristics of quantum channels that exhibit entanglement, a property unique to quantum systems, and investigates the behaviour of quantum entropy for compound quantum channels by changing the perspective from information transmission between input and output to a new perspective of information transmission from the initial state to the final state.

Some aspects of complexities for quantum systems

Noboru Watanabe

We are interested to study the dynamics of state change or the complexity of state for several systems. Information dynamics (ID) is a new concept introduced by Ohya to construct a theory under the ID's framework by synthesizing these investigating schemes. In ID, a complexity of state describing system itself and a transmitted complexity between two systems are used. One of the example of these complexities are the Shannon's entropy and the mutual entropy (information) in classical entropy theory. In quantum entropy theory, it was known that the von Neumann entropy and the Ohya mutual entropy relate to these complexities. Recently, several mutual entropy type measures (the Lindblad-Nielsen entropy and the Coherent entropy) were proposed by means of the entropy exchange for an input state and a channel. The quantum capacity is defined by taking the supremum for the Ohya mutual entropy. The main purpose of this paper is to compare with these mutual entropy type complexities in order to find most congruous one for studying the quantum communication process. In this paper, we calculate the quantum capacity for some simple models for discussing the information transmission for OOK and PSK modulations.

Note on transmitted complexity for the modified compound states

Noboru Watanabe

In Ref. 27, Ohya proposed the information dynamics synthesizing several ways of studying complex systems. In information dynamics, there are two types of complexities, one is a complexity of state representing system itself and another is a transmitted complexity between two systems. Entropies in classical and quantum systems are examples of these complexities of information dynamics. Transmitted complexity is an important tool to analyze the efficiency of information transmission in communication processes. In order to treat a flow of dynamical process, dynamical entropies were introduced in not only classical but also quantum systems. Based on the transition expectation introduced by Accardi to study quantum Markov process, the KOW entropy for completely positive (CP) maps was defined in Ref. 17. The generalized AOW and the AF entropies was constructed by the KOW entropy. The compound states are important tool to define the transmitted entropy 43,44. The transmitted complexity associated with the separable compound states is defined by using the generalized AOW entropy in Refs. 36 and 45. In this paper, we define a transmitted complexity (quantum dynamical mutual entropy) by means of the modified compound states and we prove the fundamental inequalities of the transmitted complexity for the independent quantum dynamical systems.
