• Abstract: We present further progress, in the form of analytical results, on the Wigner entropy conjecture set forth in https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevA.104.042211 and https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1751-8121/aa852f/meta. Said conjecture asserts that the differential entropy defined for non-negative, yet physical, Wigner functions is minimized by pure Gaussian states while the minimum entropy is equal to $1+\ln\pi$. We prove this conjecture for the qubits formed by Fock states $|0\rangle$ and $|1\rangle$ that correspond to non-negative Wigner functions. In particular, we derive an explicit form of the Wigner entropy for those states lying on the boundary of the set of Wigner non-negative qubits. We then consider general mixed states and derive a sufficient condition for Wigner non-negativity. For states satisfying our condition we verify that the conjecture is true. Lastly, we elaborate on the states of the set which is in accordance with our condition.

  We study the quantum information theoretic task of embezzlement of entanglement in the setting of von Neumann algebras. We quantify the performance of a given resource state by the worst-case error. Our findings have implications for relativistic quantum field theory, where type III algebras naturally appear.

  Z. Van Herstraeten and N.J. Cerf claim that the Shannon entropy for positive Wigner functions is bounded below by a positive constant. We prove, in arbitrary dimension, that this entropy is indeed bounded below by a positive constant. We also prove an analogous result for another conjecture stated by the same authors for the R'enyi entropy of positive Wigner functions.

For the trajectory entropy, we propose a simple algorithm that has a sample of complexity of order $widetildemathcalO(mathrmpoly(S,

• Quantum Wigner entropy [0.0]
  We define the Wigner entropy of a quantum state as the differential Shannon entropy of the Wigner function of the state. We conjecture that it is lower bounded by $lnpi +1$ within the convex set of Wigner-positive states. The Wigner entropy is anticipated to be a significant physical quantity, for example, in quantum optics.

We show that this state is always achieved, i.e. any state admits a closest separable state, even in dimensions; also, $E_Rite is everywhere lower semi-negative $lambda_$quasi-probability distribution.
