Ordering states with various coherence measures
Quantum coherence is one of the most significant theories in quantum physics.
Ordering states with various coherence measures is an intriguing task in
quantification theory of coherence. In this paper, we study this problem by use
of four important coherence measures -- the norm of coherence, the
relative entropy of coherence, the geometric measure of coherence and the
modified trace distance measure of coherence. We show that each pair of these
measures give a different ordering of qudit states when . However, for
single-qubit states, the norm of coherence and the geometric coherence
provide the same ordering. We also show that the relative entropy of coherence
and the geometric coherence give a different ordering for single-qubit states.
Then we partially answer the open question proposed in [Quantum Inf. Process.
15, 4189 (2016)] whether all the coherence measures give a different ordering
of states.Comment: 12 page
Dynamics of coherence-induced state ordering under Markovian channels
We study the dynamics of coherence-induced state ordering under incoherent
channels, particularly four specific Markovian channels: amplitude damping
channel, phase damping channel, depolarizing channel and bit flit channel for
single-qubit states. We show that the amplitude damping channel, phase damping
channel, and depolarizing channel do not change the coherence-induced state
ordering by norm of coherence, relative entropy of coherence, geometric
measure of coherence, and Tsallis relative -entropies, while the bit
flit channel does change for some special cases.Comment: 7 pages, 21 figure
Information-entropic measures for non-zero l states of confined hydrogen-like ions
Relative Fisher information (IR), which is a measure of correlative
fluctuation between two probability densities, has been pursued for a number of
quantum systems, such as, 1D quantum harmonic oscillator (QHO) and a few
central potentials namely, 3D isotropic QHO, hydrogen atom and pseudoharmonic
potential (PHP) in both position () and momentum () spaces. In the 1D
case, the state is chosen as reference, whereas for a central potential,
the respective circular or node-less (corresponding to lowest radial quantum
number ) state of a given quantum number, is selected. Starting from
their exact wave functions, expressions of IR in both and spaces are
obtained in closed analytical forms in all these systems. A careful analysis
reveals that, for the 1D QHO, IR in both coordinate spaces increase linearly
with quantum number . Likewise, for 3D QHO and PHP, it varies with single
power of radial quantum number in both spaces. But, in H atom they
depend on both principal () and azimuthal () quantum numbers. However, at
a fixed , IR (in conjugate spaces) initially advance with rise of and
then falls off; also for a given , it always decreases with
Thermodynamic semirings
The Witt construction describes a functor from the category of Rings to the category
of characteristic 0 rings. It is uniquely determined by a few associativity constraints which do
not depend on the types of the variables considered, in other words, by integer polynomials.
This universality allowed Alain Connes and Caterina Consani to devise an analogue of the Witt
ring for characteristic one, an attractive endeavour since we know very little about the arithmetic
in this exotic characteristic and its corresponding field with one element. Interestingly, they
found that in characteristic one, the Witt construction depends critically on the Shannon entropy.
In the current work, we examine this surprising occurrence, defining a Witt operad for an
arbitrary information measure and a corresponding algebra we call a thermodynamic semiring.
This object exhibits algebraically many of the familiar properties of information measures,
and we examine in particular the Tsallis and Renyi entropy functions and applications to nonextensive
thermodynamics and multifractals. We find that the arithmetic of the thermodynamic
semiring is exactly that of a certain guessing game played using the given information measure
Self-organization in dissipative optical lattices
We show that the transition from Gaussian to the q-Gaussian distributions
occurring in atomic transport in dissipative optical lattices can be
interpreted as self-organization by recourse to a modified version of
Klimontovich's S-theorem. As a result, we find that self-organization is
possible in the transition regime, only where the second moment is
finite. Therefore, the nonadditivity parameter q is confined within the range
1<q<5/3, although whole spectrum of q values i.e., 1<q<3, is considered
theoretically possible. The range of q values obtained from the modified
S-theorem is also confirmed by the experiments carried out by Douglas et al.
