Entropy and Wigner Functions

Preprint English OPEN
Manfredi, G.; Feix, M. R.;
(2002)
The properties of an alternative definition of quantum entropy, based on Wigner functions, are discussed. Such definition emerges naturally from the Wigner representation of quantum mechanics, and can easily quantify the amount of entanglement of a quantum state. It is ... View more
