....as defined by Shannon [1] As a direct consequence of this, the classical conditional entropy, defined as H(X jY ) H(X;Y ) Gamma H(Y ) must always be positive. This is in contrast with the quantum analog of the conditional entropy S(X jY ) S(X; Y ) Gamma S(Y ) which can be negative [2]. For an EPR pair, as for instance, S(X jY ) S(Y jX) Gamma1 bit. In this term project, I shall prove that negative entropies in a bipartite system can be used to cancel positive entropies. More precisely, I will show with an explicit example that, given a bipartite system XY such that H(X jY ....

....joint entropy of the composite system; it is a quantity which can be larger in quantum theory than it can in classical theory, due to entanglement. It is often termed the quantum mutual information becuase of the formal similarity to the classical mutual information H(A) H(B) Gamma H(AB) 56] [67]. In this form, the inequality says that this excess of marginal over joint entropies is reduced if we ignore (trace over) parts of each of the subsystems. This follows from strong subadditivity, as we may show by rewriting it yet again as: S(ae R 1 Q 1 R 2 Q 2 ) S(ae Q 1 ) S(ae Q 2 ) ....
