Calculation of the disentropy of the Wigner function using the Lambert–Tsallis Wq function with non-integer q values

José leonardo Esteves da Silva, Rubens Viana Ramos

The Wigner function is a mathematical tool that provides important information about a quantum light state, like entanglement and quantumness. For example, in a recent work it was shown the disentropy of the Wigner function using the Lambert–Tsallis W q function with q = 2 can be used as a measure of quantumness. When the value of q is non-integer, the disentropy and W q function have fractional powers and, hence, a negative value of the Wigner function can result in a complex value for the disentropy. This prohibits the use of those functions in the calculation of the disentropy of the Wigner function of highly interesting states, such as Schrödinger cats. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a new disentropy equation inspired by the Rényi entropy. The advantages and disadvantages of this new disentropy are discussed and numerical examples are shown.

Quantum and Classical Information Theory with Disentropy

Rubens Viana Ramos

Entropy is a famous and well established concept in physics and engineering that can be used for explanation of basic fundamentals as well it finds applications in several areas, from quantum physics to astronomy, from network communication to medical image processing, for example. Now, entropy meets its dual, the disentropy. As such, the disentropy can be used everywhere entropy is used, offering a different point of view: since entropy is a measure of disorder or uncertainty, disentropy is a measure of order or certainty. Thus, important concepts of physics can be rewritten using disentropy instead of entropy. Although there is a large range of problems that can be solved using entropy or disentropy, there are situations where only the disentropy can be used. This happens because the disentropy can provide a real output value when its argument is negative, while the entropy cannot. Thus, it is possible to calculate, for example, the disentropy of quasi-probability distributions like the Wigner function of highly quantum states. In this direction, the present work shows applications of the disentropy in a small list of problems: quantum and classical information theory, black hole thermodynamics, image processing and number theory.
