    Quantum Hypothesis Testing and Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics

    Full text link
    We extend the mathematical theory of quantum hypothesis testing to the general WW^*-algebraic setting and explore its relation with recent developments in non-equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics. In particular, we relate the large deviation principle for the full counting statistics of entropy flow to quantum hypothesis testing of the arrow of time.Comment: 60 page
