Quantum complementarity through entropic certainty principles

چکیده
We approach the physical implications of non-commutative nature Complementary Observable Algebras (COA) from an information theoretic perspective. In particular, we derive a general \textit{entropic certainty principle} stating that sum two relative entropies, naturally related to COA, is equal so-called algebraic index associated inclusion. Uncertainty relations then arise by monotonicity entropies participate in underlying entropic certainty. Examples and applications are described quantum field theories with global symmetries, where COA formed charge-anticharge local operators (intertwiners) unitary representations symmetry group (twists), Wilson 't Hooft loops. general, principle captures physics order/disorder parameters, feature makes it generic handle for characterization phases.

Entropic Principles
We discuss the evolution of radiation and Bekenstein-Hawking entropies in expanding isotropic universes. We establish a general relation which shows why it is inevitable that there is currently a huge difference in the numerical values of these two entropies. Some anthropic constraints on their values are given and other aspects of the cosmological ’entropy gap’ problem are discussed. The coinc...
متن کاملQuantum entropic security
We present full generalizations of entropic security and entropic indistinguishability, notions introduced by Russell and Wang and then Dodis and Smith, to the quantum world where no assumption other than a limit on the knowledge of the adversary is made. This limit is quantified using the quantum conditional min-entropy as introduced by Renner. In this fully generalized model, we allow any kin...
متن کاملRectification Through Entropic Barriers
The dynamics of Brownian motion has widespread applications extending from transport in designed micro-channels up to its prominent role for inducing transport in molecular motors and Brownian motors. Here, Brownian transport is studied in micro-sized, two dimensional periodic channels, exhibiting periodically varying cross sections. The particles in addition are subjected to a constant externa...
متن کاملComplementarity in Quantum Systems
Reduction of a state of a quantum system to a subsystem gives partial quantum information about the true state of the total system. Two subalgebras A1 and A2 of B(H) are called complementary if the traceless subspaces of A1 and A2 are orthogonal (with respect to the Hilbert-Schmidt inner product). When both subalgebras are maximal Abelian, then the concept reduces to complementary observables o...
متن کاملEntropic security in quantum cryptography
We present two new definitions of security for quantum ciphers which are inspired by the definition of entropic security and entropic indistinguishability defined by Dodis and Smith. We prove the equivalence of these two new definitions. We also propose a generalization of a cipher described by Dodis and Smith and show that it can actually encrypt n qubits using less than n bits of key under re...
