Entropy of Coherent Excitations

Abstract

We provide a rigorous, explicit formula for the vacuum relative entropy of a coherent state on wedge local von Neumann algebras associated with a free, neutral quantum field theory on the Minkowski spacetime of arbitrary spacetime dimension. We consider charges localised on the time zero hyperplane, possibly crossing the boundary.
