Accessible information in quantum measurement

N. J. Cerf, C. Adami

The amount of information that can be accessed via measurement of a quantum system prepared in different states is limited by the Kholevo bound. We present a simple proof of this t…

Negative entropy in quantum information theory

Nicolas J. Cerf, Chris Adami

We present a quantum information theory that allows for the consistent description of quantum entanglement. It parallels classical (Shannon) information theory but is based entirel…

Entropic Bell Inequalities

N. J. Cerf, C. Adami

We derive entropic Bell inequalities from considering entropy Venn diagrams. These entropic inequalities, akin to the Braunstein-Caves inequalities, are violated for a quantum mech…

The random link approximation for the Euclidean traveling salesman problem

N. J. Cerf, J. Boutet de Monvel, O. Bohigas +2

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) consists of finding the length of the shortest closed tour visiting N ``cities''. We consider the Euclidean TSP where the cities are distribute…

Quantum Information Theory of Entanglement and Measurement

Nicolas J. Cerf, Chris Adami

We present a quantum information theory that allows for a consistent description of entanglement. It parallels classical (Shannon) information theory but is based entirely on densi…

Quantum Mechanics of Measurement

N. J. Cerf, C. Adami

An analysis of quantum measurement is presented that relies on an information-theoretic description of quantum entanglement. In a consistent quantum information theory of entanglem…
