• Abstract: In quantum thermodynamics, entropy production is usually defined in terms of the quantum relative entropy between two states. We derive a lower bound for the quantum entropy production in terms of the mean and variance of quantum observables, which we will refer to as a thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) for the entropy production. In the absence of coherence between the states, our result reproduces classic TURs in stochastic thermodynamics. For the derivation of the TUR, we introduce a lower bound for a quantum generalization of the $\chi^2$ divergence between two states and discuss its implications for stochastic and quantum thermodynamics, as well as the limiting case where it reproduces the quantum Cram\'er-Rao inequality.

• Limiting flux in quantum thermodynamics [0.0]
  In quantum systems, entropy production is typically defined as the quantum relative entropy between two states. We propose a new upper bound for such flux in terms of quantum relative entropy, applicable even far from equilibrium and in the strong coupling regime.

• Quantum relative entropy uncertainty relation [0.0]
  For classic systems, the fluctuations of a current have a lower bound in terms of the entropy production. We generalize this idea for quantum systems, where we find a lower bound for the uncertainty of quantum observables given in terms of the quantum relative entropy. We apply the result to obtain a quantum thermodynamic uncertainty relation in terms of the quantum entropy production, valid for arbitrary dynamics and non-thermal environments.

We develop a self-contained thermodynamic description of this model accounting for the variation of the energy level of the dot and the tunnelling rates with the thermal baths.

  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.

• Quantum correlation entropy [0.0]
  We study quantum coarse-grained entropy and demonstrate that the gap in entropy between local and global coarse-grainings is a natural generalization of entanglement entropy to mixed states and multipartite systems. This "quantum correlation entropy" $Srm QC$ is additive over independent systems, measures total nonclassical correlations, and reduces to the entanglement entropy for bipartite pure states.
