In this article, uncertainty relations between information loss in general open quantum systems and the amount of nonergodicity of the corresponding dynamics are established, and the elements of the uncertainty relations are quantified via distance measures on the space of quantum density matrices.Abstract:
We establish uncertainty relations between information loss in general open quantum systems and the amount of nonergodicity of the corresponding dynamics. The relations hold for arbitrary quantum systems interacting with an arbitrary quantum environment. The elements of the uncertainty relations are quantified via distance measures on the space of quantum density matrices. The relations hold for arbitrary distance measures satisfying a set of intuitively satisfactory axioms. The relations show that as the nonergodicity of the dynamics increases, the lower bound on information loss decreases, which validates the belief that nonergodicity plays an important role in preserving information of quantum states undergoing lossy evolution. We also consider a model of a central qubit interacting with a fermionic thermal bath and derive its reduced dynamics to subsequently investigate the information loss and nonergodicity in such dynamics. We comment on the ``minimal'' situations that saturate the uncertainty relations.read more

Kinetic equations from Hamiltonian dynamics: Markovian limits
TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of classical as well as quantum-mechanical models for which kinetic equations can be derived rigorously are discussed and the probabilistic nature of the problem is emphasized: the approximation of the microscopic dynamics by either a kinetic or a hydrodynamic equation can be understood as the approximate approximation of a non-Markovian stochastic process by a Markovian process.

The role of relative entropy in quantum information theory
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show how quantum information theory extends traditional information theory by exploring the limits imposed by quantum, rather than classical, mechanics on information storage and transmission, and show that quantum computers can achieve enhanced speed over their classical counterparts using information-theoretic arguments.
