Trade-off relations for operation entropy of complementary quantum channels

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The entropy of a quantum operation, defined as the von Neumann entropy of the corresponding Choi-Jamio{l}kowski state, characterizes the coupling of the principal system with the environment. For any quantum channel Phi acting on a state of size N one defines the complementary channel ildePhi, which sends the input state into the state of the environment after the operation. Making use of subadditivity of entropy we show that for any dimension N the sum of both entropies, S(Phi)+S(ildePhi), is bounded from below. This result characterizes the trade-off between the information on the initial quantum state accessible to the principal system and the information leaking to the environment. For one qubit maps, N=2, we describe the interpolating family of depolarising maps, for which the sum of both entropies gives the lower boundary of the region allowed in the space spanned by both entropies.
