چکیده
We explore the role of majorization theory in quantum phase space. To this purpose, we restrict ourselves to states with positive Wigner functions and show that continuous version provides an elegant very natural approach exploring information-theoretic properties After identifying all Gaussian pure as equivalent precise sense majorization, which can be understood light Hudson's theorem, conjecture a fundamental relation: any function is majorized by state (especially, bosonic vacuum or ground harmonic oscillator). As consequence, Schur-concave lower bounded value it takes for state. This implies turn entropy its state, while converse notably not true. Our main result then prove relation relevant subset Wigner-positive are mixtures three lowest eigenstates oscillator. Beyond that, also supported numerical evidence. conclude discussing some implications context entropic uncertainty relations

marginal behavior of the quantum potential in extended phase space
here, the concept of quantum potential that has been illustrated in extended phase space (eps) in previous works is explored for its marginal behavior. unlike in configuration space, different representations of the quantum mechanics can be found in eps when exploiting appropriate canonical transformations. these canonical transformations revealed that there exist several representations in whi...
متن کاملMajorization in Quantum Adiabatic Algorithms
We study the Majorization arrow in a big class of quantum adiabatic algorithms. In a quantum adiabatic algorithm, the ground state of the Hamiltonian is a guide state around which the actual state evolves. We prove that for any algorithm of this class, step-by-step majorization of the guide state holds perfectly. We also show that step-by-step majorization of the actual state appears if the run...
متن کاملContinuous Quantum Phase Transitions
A quantum system can undergo a continuous phase transition at the absolute zero of temperature as some parameter entering its Hamiltonian is varied. These transitions are particularly interesting for, in contrast to their classical finite temperature counterparts, their dynamic and static critical behaviors are intimately intertwined. We show that considerable insight is gained by considering t...
متن کاملQuantum shuttle in phase space.
We present a quantum theory of the shuttle instability in electronic transport through a nanostructure with a mechanical degree of freedom. A phase space formulation in terms of the Wigner function allows us to identify a crossover from the tunneling to the shuttling regime, thus extending the previously found classical results to the quantum domain. Further, a new dynamical regime is discovere...
متن کاملEntropy production in continuous phase space systems
We propose an alternative method to compute the environmental entropy production of a classical underdamped nonequilibrium system, not necessarily in detailed balance, in a continuous phase space. It is based on the idea that the Hamiltonian orbits of the corresponding isolated system can be regarded as microstates and that entropy is generated in the environment whenever the system moves from ...
