- Abstract: We study quantum conditional entropy production, which quantifies the
irreversibility of system-environment evolution from the perspective of a third
system, called the reference. The reference is initially correlated with the
system. We show that the quantum unconditional entropy production with respect
to the system is less than the conditional entropy production with respect to
the reference, where the latter includes a reference-induced dissipative
information. The dissipative information pinpoints the distributive correlation
established between the environment and the reference, even though they do not
interact directly. When reaching the thermal equilibrium, the
system-environment evolution has a zero unconditional entropy production.
However, one can still have a nonzero conditional entropy production with
respect to the reference, which characterizes the informational nonequilibrium
of the system-environment evolution in the view point of the reference. The
additional contribution to the conditional entropy production, the dissipative
information, characterizes a minimal thermodynamic cost that the system pays
for maintaining the correlation with the reference. Positive dissipative
information also characterizes potential work waste. We prove that both types
of entropy production and the dissipative information follow quantum
fluctuation theorems when a two-point measurement is applied. We verify the
quantum fluctuation theorem for the dissipative information experimentally on
IBM quantum computers. We also present examples based on the qubit collisional
model and demonstrate universal nonzero dissipative information in the qubit
Maxwell's demon protocol.

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system can only increase over time.
This appears to conflict with the reversible evolution of isolated quantum systems under the Schr"odinger equation.
We show that the entropy with respect to a given observable tends towards its equilibrium value in the course of the system's unitary evolution.

entropy production of an open system coupled to a reservoir in a canonical state can be expressed as a sum of two microscopic information-theoretic contributions.
We show that while in such a case the entropy production can still be expressed as a sum of the mutual information between the system and the bath, the relative weight of those contributions depends on the initial state of the reservoir.

Entanglement entropy is the von Neumann entropy of quantum entanglement of pure states.
The relation between entanglement entropy and entanglement distillation has been known only for the setting, and the meaning of entanglement entropy in the single-copy regime has so far remained open.
Our results imply that entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of entanglement available in a bipartite pure state to be used for quantum information processing, giving results an operational meaning also in entangled single-copy setup.
