Description for Quantum Entropy and Its Use
Paperback. Provides an overview of quantum entropy theory. This monograph employs mathematical formalism based on operator theory and functional analysis. Among the ideas discussed are entropy of a quantum state, relative entropy, mutual entropy, entropy of a coarse graining and dynamical entropy. Series: Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. Num Pages: 360 pages, 1 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 19. Weight in Grams: 540.
Entropy is a concept which appears in several fields and it is in the center of interest both in mathematical and physical subjects, sometimes even at other places, for example in communication engineering. The birthplace of quantum entropy was in quantum statistical mechanics. Quantum entropy is not a single concept but rather a family of notions which started with the von Neumann entropy of a density matrix and has developed in a number of directions. The heritage of quantum entropies from quantum mechanics is their strong relation to Hilbert space. This book begins with the entropy of a state and ... Read more
