Holevo Information and Ensemble Theory of Gravity

Xiao-Liang Qi, Zhou Shangnan, Zhenbin Yang

Holevo information is an upper bound for the accessible classical information of an ensemble of quantum states. In this work, we use Holevo information to investigate the ensemble…

Quantum Cross Entropy and Maximum Likelihood Principle

Zhou Shangnan, Yixu Wang

Quantum machine learning is an emerging field at the intersection of machine learning and quantum computing. Classical cross entropy plays a central role in machine learning. We de…

Effective entropy of quantum fields coupled with gravity

Xi Dong, Xiao-Liang Qi, Zhou Shangnan +1

Entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of uncertainty of a quantum state. For quantum fields in curved space, entanglement entropy of the quantum field theory degrees of freedo…

Kitaev's quantum double model as an error correcting code

Shawn X. Cui, Dawei Ding, Xizhi Han +4

Kitaev's quantum double models in 2D provide some of the most commonly studied examples of topological quantum order. In particular, the ground space is thought to yield a quantum…

Complexity, Entropy, and Markov Chains

Zhou Shangnan

We develop a theory of classical complexity. We study the relations between classical complexity and entropy, and conjecture that in an isolated system, classical absolute complexi…

Capillary-driven binding of thin triangular prisms at fluid interfaces

Joseph A. Ferrar, Deshpreet S. Bedi, Shangnan Zhou +3

We observe capillary-driven binding between thin, equilateral triangular prisms at a flat air-water interface. The edge length of the equilateral triangle face is 120 , and the…

Transformable topological mechanical metamaterials

D. Zeb Rocklin, Shangnan Zhou, Kai Sun +1

Mechanical metamaterials are engineered materials that gain their remarkable mechanical properties, such as negative Poisson's ratios, negative compressibility, phononic bandgaps,…
