Abstract: This work is concerned with the minimization of quantum entropies under local constraints of density, current, and energy. The problem arises in the work of Degond and Ringhofer about the derivation of quantum hydrodynamical models from first principles, and is an adaptation to the quantum setting of the moment closure strategy by entropy minimization encountered in kinetic equations. The main mathematical difficulty is the lack of compactness needed to recover the energy constraint. We circumvent this issue by a monotonicity argument involving energy, temperature and entropy, that is inspired by some thermodynamical considerations.

Review text

The authors consider the minimization problem for quantum entropies under local constraints. Their focus is on the von Neumann entropy \[ S(\rho)=\mathrm{Tr}(s(\rho)),\ \ s(x)=x\log x-x, \] for a density operator \(\rho\). This article provides ``a first result in a one dimensional setting, and show[s] that \(S\) admits a unique minimizer satisfying the [local] constraints.
