• Abstract: We study the use of von Neumann entropy constraints for obtaining lower bounds on the ground energy of quantum many-body systems. Known methods for obtaining certificates on the ground energy typically use consistency of local observables and are expressed as semidefinite programming relaxations. The local marginals defined by such a relaxation do not necessarily satisfy entropy inequalities that follow from the existence of a global state. Here, we propose to add such entropy constraints that lead to tighter convex relaxations for the ground energy problem. We give analytical and numerical results illustrating the advantages of such entropy constraints. We also show limitations of the entropy constraints we construct: they are implied by doubling the number of sites in the relaxation and as a result they can at best lead to a quadratic improvement in terms of the matrix sizes of the variables. We explain the relation to a method for approximating the free energy known as the Markov Entropy Decomposition method.

  A periodically driven (Floquet) system in the absence of any conservation law heats to a featureless infinite temperature' state. Here, we find--for a clean and interacting generic spin chain--that this can be prevented by the emergence of it approximate but stable conservation-laws not present in the undriven system. We show numerically, it in the thermodynamic limit,' that when required by these emergent conservation-laws, the entanglement-entropy density of an infinite subsystem remains zero.

  We derive a novel fluctuation theorem and the associated second law of information thermodynamics. In our second law, the entropy production is bounded by the coarse-grained entropy production which is inferrable from the measurement outcomes. We illustrate our results by a qubit undergoing discrete and continuous measurement, where our approach provides a useful bound on the entropy production for all measurement strengths.

  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.

  Quantifying the degree of irreversibility by entropy production, we prove that the irreversibility of the thermal relaxation is lower-bounded by a relative entropy between the unitarily-evolved state and the final state. Our finding refines the second law of thermodynamics and reveals a universal feature of thermal relaxation processes.

• Entropy scaling law and the quantum marginal problem [0.0]
  Quantum many-body states that frequently appear in physics often obey an entropy scaling law. We prove a restricted version of this conjecture for translationally invariant systems in two spatial dimensions. We derive a closed-form expression for the maximum entropy density compatible with those marginals.

• Targeted free energy estimation via learned mappings [66.20146549150475]
  Free energy perturbation (FEP) was proposed by Zwanzig more than six decades ago as a method to estimate free energy differences. FEP suffers from a severe limitation: the requirement of sufficient overlap between distributions. One strategy to mitigate this problem, called Targeted Free Energy Perturbation, uses a high-dimensional mapping in configuration space to increase overlap.
