Law of Cosines and Shannon-Pythagorean Theorem for Quantum Information
نویسنده
چکیده
The concept of information distance in non-commutative setting is re-considered. Additive information, such as Kullback-Leibler divergence, is defined using convex functional with gradient having the property of homomorphism between multiplicative and additive subgroups. We review several geometric properties, such as the logarithmic law of cosines, Pythagorean theorem and a lower bound given by squared Euclidean distance. We also prove a special case of Pythagorean theorem for Shannon information, which finds applications in informationtheoretic variational problems.

Characterizations of Orthodiagonal Quadrilaterals
We prove ten necessary and sufficient conditions for a convex quadrilateral to have perpendicular diagonals. One of these is a quite new eight point circle theorem and three of them are metric conditions concerning the nonoverlapping triangles formed by the diagonals. 1. A well known characterization An orthodiagonal quadrilateral is a convex quadrilateral with perpendicular diagonals. The most...
متن کاملTrisection, Pythagorean Angles, and Gaussian Integers
Pythagorean angles, that is angles with rational sines and cosines, provide an interesting environment for studying the question of characterizing trisectable angles. The main result of this paper shows that a Pythagorean angle is trisectable if and only if it is three times some other Pythagorean angle. Using the Euclidean parametrization of Pythagorean angles, this result allows an effective ...
متن کاملThe Shannon-McMillan theorem and related results for ergodic quantum spin lattice systems and applications in quantum information theory
The aim of this thesis is to formulate and prove quantum extensions of the famous Shannon-McMillan theorem and its stronger version due to Breiman. In ergodic theory the Shannon-McMillan-Breiman theorem is one of the fundamental limit theorems for classical discrete dynamical systems. It can be interpreted as a special case of the individual ergodic theorem. In this work, we consider spin latti...
متن کاملInformation-Spectrum Approaches to Quantum Information Theory
One of the principal themes of information theory is to establish a link between two different kinds of quantities: one is an operational quantity which is defined through the asymptotic optimality on some concrete concept such as code length, compression rate, error probability, etc., while the other is an abstract information quantity such as the entropy, divergence, mutual information, etc. ...
متن کاملThe Shannon-McMillan Theorem for Ergodic Quantum Lattice Systems
We formulate and prove a quantum Shannon-McMillan theorem. The theorem demonstrates the significance of the von Neumann entropy for translation invariant ergodic quantum spin systems on Z-lattices: the entropy gives the logarithm of the essential number of eigenvectors of the system on large boxes. The one-dimensional case covers quantum information sources and is basic for coding theorems.
