Generalized non-additive entropies and quantum entanglement

Abstract

We examine the inference of quantum density operators from incomplete information by means of the maximization of general non-additive entropic forms. Extended thermodynamic relations are given. When applied to a bipartite spin 1/2 system, the formalism allows to avoid fake entanglement for data based on the Bell-CHSH observable, and, in general, on any set of Bell constraints. Particular results obtained with the Tsallis entropy and with an introduced exponential entropic form are also discussed.
