Entropy Production and Information Gain¶in Axiom-A Systems

Anosov systems are mathematical models for chaotic systems in statistical mechanics and fluid dynamics. Most of these systems enjoy the property of positive entropy production. We introduce the concept of specific information gain (or specific relative entropy) h(μ₊,μ₋) in Anosov systems and prove that it is identical to the entropy production rate e _p (μ₊) defined by Ruelle and Gallavotti in Anosov systems. From this point of view, the entropy production rate e _p (μ₊ characterizes the degree of macroscopic irreversibility of the system. Received: 2 August 1999 / Accepted: 14 April 2000     

How does the Entropy/Information Bound Work?

According to the universal entropy bound, the entropy (and hence information capacity) of a complete weakly self-gravitating physical system can be bounded exclusively in terms of its circumscribing radius and total gravitating energy. The bound’s correctness is supported by explicit statistical calculations of entropy, gedanken experiments involving the generalized second law, and Bousso’s covariant holographic bound. On the other hand, it is not always obvious in a particular example how the system avoids having too many states for given energy, and hence violating the bound. We analyze in detail several purported counterexamples of this type, and exhibit in each case the mechanism behind the bound’s efficacy. In memoriam Asher Peres.     

Δ—scaling and Information Entropy in Ultra—Relativistic Nucleus—Nucleus Collisions

The Δ-scaling method has been applied to ultra-relativistic p p,C C and Pb Pb collision data simulated using a high-energy Monte Carlo package,LUCIAE 3.0.The Δ-scaling is found to be valid for some physical variables,such as charged particle multiplicity,strange particle multiplicity and number of binary nucleon-nucleon-nucleon collisions from these simulated nucleus-nucleus collisions over an extended energy ranging from E1ab=20 to 200A GeV.In addition we derive the information entropy from the multiplicity distribution as a function of beam energy for these collisions.     

Nernst Theorem and Entropy of the Axisymmetric Einstein–Maxwell–Dilaton-Axion Black Hole

The free energy and the entropy of scalar field are calculated by brick-wall in the axisymmetric Einstein–Maxwell–Dilaton-axion black hole. It is shown that when the black hole has inner and outer horizons, the entropy is not only related to the area of an outer horizon but also is the function of the area of an inner horizon. When the area of an inner horizon approaches zero, we can obtain the known conclusion. The entropy expressed by location parameter of outer horizon and inner horizons approaches absolute zero. It obeys Nernst theorem. It can be taken as Planck absolute entropy of a black hole.     

Entropy of the Kerr–Sen black hole

We study the entropy of Kerr–Sen black hole of heterotic string theory beyond semiclassical approximations. Applying the properties of exact differentials for three variables to the first law of thermodynamics, we derive the corrections to the entropy of the black hole. The leading (logarithmic) and non-leading corrections to the area law are obtained.     

Software alignment of the BESⅢ main drift chamber using the Kalman Filter method

Software alignment is quite important for a tracking detector to reach its ultimate position accuracy and momentum resolution. We developed a new alignment algorithm for the BESⅢ Main Drift Chamber using the Kalman Filter method. Two different types of data which are helix tracks and straight tracks are used to test this algorithm, and the results show that the design and implementation is successful.     

Entropy of the Dirac Field in Schwarzschild–de Sitter Space-Time via the Membrane Model

There are two event horizons in Schwarzschild–de Sitter space-time, a blackhole horizon and a cosmological horizon. They have different temperatures. Theradiation between them is of course not in thermal equilibrium. According to themembrane model suggested by us, the two horizons can be thought of as twoindependent thermodynamic systems in equilibrium. Their Dirac field entropiesare calculated via a membrane model. The result shows that the entropy of theDirac field is proportional to the sum of the areas of the two event horizons. Ifwe choose the same cutoff as that of Klein–Gordon field, the entropy of theDirac field is times that of Klein–Gordon field. This agrees with previousresults.     

Quantification of Entanglement Entropy in Helium by the Schmidt–Slater Decomposition Method

In this work, we present an investigation on the spatial entanglement entropies in the helium atom by using highly correlated Hylleraas functions to represent the S-wave states. Singlet-spin 1sns ¹ S ^e states (with n = 1 to 6) and triplet-spin 1sns ³ S ^e states (with n = 2 to 6) are investigated. As a measure on the spatial entanglement, von Neumann entropy and linear entropy are calculated. Furthermore, we apply the Schmidt–Slater decomposition method on the two-electron wave functions, and obtain eigenvalues of the one-particle reduced density matrix, from which the linear entropy and von Neumann entropy can be determined.     

Entropy squeezing and atomic inversion in the K-photon Jaynes–Cummings model in the presence of the Stark shift and a Kerr medium:A full nonlinear approach

The interaction between a two-level atom and a single-mode field in the k-photon Jaynes–Cummings model(JCM) in the presence of the Stark shift and a Kerr medium is studied. All terms in the Hamiltonian, such as the single-mode field, its interaction with the atom, the contribution of the Stark shift and the Kerr medium effects are considered to be f-deformed.In particular, the effect of the initial state of the radiation field on the dynamical evolution of some physical properties such as atomic inversion and entropy squeezing are investigated by considering different initial field states(coherent, squeezed and thermal states).     

Traveling Waves and Structures of a Film Flow with Phase Transitions in the Nakoryakov–Ostapenko–Bartashevich Model

To describe the motion of the film flowing downward the vertical wall in the mode of condensation or evaporation into the surrounding space, the model proposed in [1] is used. It is reduced to one equation for the film thickness. The model comprises two governing parameters. The first one is proportional to the difference in the wall temperature, assumed to be constant, and the saturation temperature, and the second is proportional to the surface tension coefficient. In a series of publications [1–4] the authors studied solutions of thementioned equation at zero surface tension. Their characteristic feature is the presence of strong and weak discontinuities of layer thickness. In this paper we studied the regularizing effect of surface tension on the film flow structure with phase transitions. Numerical and asymptotic analysis of the resulting structures is carried out. Also, the case where the wall temperature is an arbitrary function of time is considered.     

LETTER: The Nernst Theorem and the Entropy of the Reissner–Nordström Black Hole

We calculate the free energy and the entropy of a scalar field in terms of the brick-wall method on the background of the Reissner–Nordström black hole. We obtain the entropy of a scalar field is not only related to the location of an outer horizon but also is the function of the location of an inner horizon. In the approximation, the entropy is only proportional to the area of an outer horizon. The entropy expressed by location parameter of outer and inner horizon approaches zero, when the radiation temperature of a black hole approaches absolute zero. It satisfies the Nernst theorem.     

Dynamical Equations for Quantum Information and Application in Information Channel

We establish several dynamical equations for quantum information density. It is demonstrated that quantum information density shares the same formalism of the Liouville equation, subdynamics kinetic equation and Fokker-Planck equation as the density operator and also possesses the superposition property. These allow one to use quantum information density directly to model quantum information. The kinetic equations for quantum information density reveal that the dynamical process of quantum information may be related to dissipative, Markovian, or diffusional information flows, together causing irreversibility. Finally, we discuss superposition of quantum information density, which allows us to construct a quantum information channel in the coherent state representation using harmonic oscillator based encoded quantum information, and obtain a formula for quantum dynamical mutual information.     

Entropy and Entanglement of the Electromagnetically Induced Transparency System

We study the entropy and the entanglement of an electromagnetically induced transparency system. The quantumentanglement between the atom and the two quantized laser fields is discussed by using quantum reduced entropyand that between the two quantized laser fields by using quantum relative entropy. We also examine whetherinfluences of EIT on entropy and quantum entanglement of the system considered occur or not. Our resultsshow that the minimum value of the atomic reduced entropy may be regarded as an entropy criterion on theelectromagnetically induced transparency occurring.

Phonon Transport and Thermal Conductivity in an Acoustic Filter

We investigate the phonon ballistic transmission and the thermal conductivity in a dielectric quantum structure. It is found that these observable quantities sensitively depend on geometric parameters, and are of quantum character. The total transmission coetfficient as a function of the reduced waveguide-length exhibits periodical behaviour and the reduced thermal conductance decreases below the ideal universal value for the low temperature. Our results show that one can control the thermal conductivity of the structure and make all kinds of acoustic filters to match practical requirements in devices by adjusting the geometric parameters.
