Wehrl entropy, Lieb conjecture, and entanglement monotones
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose to quantify the entanglement of pure states of N3N bipartite quantum systems by defining its Husimi distribution with respect to SU(N)3SU(N) coherent states. The Wehrl entropy is minimal if and only if the analyzed pure state is separable. The excess of the Wehrl entropy is shown to be equal to the subentropy of the mixed state obtained by partial trace of the bipartite pure state. This quantity, as well as the generalized ~Rényi! subentropies, are proved to be Schur concave, so they are entanglement monotones and may be used as alternative measures of entanglement.

A Lower Bound for the Wehrl Entropy of Quantum Spin with Sharp High-spin Asymptotics
We derive a lower bound for the Wehrl entropy of a single quantum spin. The high-spin asymptotics of this bound coincides with Lieb’s conjecture up to first order in the inverse spin quantum number. The result presented here may be seen as complementary to the verification of the conjecture in cases of lowest spin by Schupp [Commun. Math. Phys. 207 (1999), 481]. In addition, we extend the valid...

For many Hilbert spaces equipped with a reproducing kernel, it seems plausible that kernel functions should be most ...
متن کاملUncertainty relations with quantum memory for the Wehrl entropy
We prove two new fundamental uncertainty relations with quantum memory for the Wehrl entropy. These are the first entropic uncertainty relations with quantum memory ever proposed for a single measurement. The first relation applies to the bipartite memory scenario and provides a lower bound to the Wehrl entropy of a quantum state conditioned on the memory quantum system in terms of the von Neum...
متن کاملRényi–wehrl Entropies as Measures of Localization in Phase Space
We generalize the concept of the Wehrl entropy of quantum states which gives a basis–independent measure of their localization in phase space. We discuss the minimal values and the typical values of these Rényi–Wehrl entropies for pure states for spin systems. According to Lieb’s conjecture the minimal values are provided by the spin coherent states. Though Lieb’s conjecture remains unproven, w...
متن کاملOn Lieb’s conjecture for the Wehrl entropy of Bloch coherent states
Lieb’s conjecture for the Wehrl entropy of Bloch coherent states is proved for spin 1 and spin 3/2. Using a geometric representation we solve the entropy integrals for states of arbitrary spin and evaluate them explicitly in the cases of spin 1, 3/2, and 2. We also give a group theoretic proof for all spin of a related inequality. c ©1999 by the author. Reproduction of this article, in its enti...
