QUANTUM INFORMATION THEORY, THE ENTROPY BOUND, AND MATHEMATICAL RIGOR IN PHYSICS

摘要

The fundamental role of the entropy bound, I ≤ S(p) - S(p), is illustrated through its use in determining the information capacities of quantum systems and the ultimate accuracy limits of precision quantum measurements, leading to a discussion on the relevance of mathematical rigor in the treatment of physics problems. The history of this bound is also reviewed.
