Entropic uncertainty relation for power-law wave packets

For the power-law quantum wave packet in configuration space, the variance of the position observable may be divergent. Accordingly, the information-entropic formulation of the uncertainty principle becomes more appropriate than the Heisenberg-type formulation, since it involves only the finite quantities. It is found that the total amount of entropic uncertainty converges to its lower bound in the limit of a large value of the exponent.

Entropy on the von Neumann lattice and its evaluation

Based on the recently introduced averaging procedure in phase space, a new type of entropy is defined on the von Neumann lattice. This quantity can be interpreted as a measure of uncertainty associated with simultaneous measurement of the position and momentum observables in the discrete subset of the phase space. Evaluating for a class of the coherent states, it is shown that this entropy takes a stationary value for the ground state, modulo a unit cell of the lattice in such a class. This value for the ground state depends on the ratio of the position lattice spacing and the momentum lattice spacing. It is found that its minimum is realized for the perfect square lattice, i.e., absence of squeezing. Numerical evaluation of this minimum gives 1.386....

Nonadditive measure and quantum entanglement in a class of mixed states of N^n-system

Through the generalization of Khinchin's classical axiomatic foundation, a basis is developed for nonadditive information theory. The classical nonadditive conditional entropy indexed by the positive parameter q is introduced and then translated into quantum information. This quantity is nonnegative for classically correlated states but can take negative values for entangled mixed states. This property is used to study quantum entanglement in the parametrized Werner-Popescu-like state of an N^n-system, that is, an n-partite N-level system. It is shown how the strongest limitation on validity of local realism (i.e., separability of the state) can be obtained in a novel manner.

Heat and generalized Clausius entropy of nonextensive systems

Macroscopic nonextensive thermodynamics is studied without recourse to microscopic statistical mechanics. It is shown that if entropy is nonextensive, the concept of physical temperature introduced through the generalized zeroth law of thermodynamics necessarily leads to modifications of the first law of thermodynamics and some of thermodynamic relations including Clausius definition of thermodynamic entropy. It is also shown, by applying this generalized Clausius entropy to a composite nonextensive system, how the nonextensive entropy and the quantity of heat consistently behave in an arbitrary thermodynamic process. An important point emerging from this is that the entropy coefficient, which connects the microscopic and macroscopic concepts, cannot be removed from the macroscopic nonextensive theory. This fact suggests that nonextensivity may require atomism for macroscopic thermodynamics at a logical level.

Nonextensive thermodynamic relations

The generalized zeroth law of thermodynamics indicates that the physical temperature in nonextensive statistical mechanics is different from the inverse of the Lagrange multiplier, beta. This leads to modifications of some of thermodynamic relations for nonextensive systems. Here, taking the first law of thermodynamics and the Legendre transform structure as the basic premises, it is found that Clausius definition of the thermodynamic entropy has to be appropriately modified, and accordingly the thermodynamic relations proposed by Tsallis, Mendes and Plastino [Physica A 261 (1998) 534] are also to be rectified. It is shown that the definition of specific heat and the equation of state remain form invariant. As an application, the classical gas model is reexamined and, in marked contrast with the previous result obtained by Abe [Phys. Lett. A 263 (1999) 424: Erratum A 267 (2000) 456] using the unphysical temperature and the unphysical pressure, the specific heat and the equation of state are found to be similar to those in ordinary extensive thermodynamics.

Nonuniqueness of Canonical Ensemble Theory arising from Microcanonical Basis

Given physical systems, counting rule for their statistical mechanical descriptions need not be unique, in general. It is shown that this nonuniqueness leads to the existence of various canonical ensemble theories which equally arise from the definite microcanonical basis. Thus, the Gibbs theorem for canonical ensemble theory is not universal, and the maximum entropy principle is to be appropriately modefied for each physical context.

Rates of convergence of nonextensive statistical distributions to Levy distributions in full and half spaces

The Levy-type distributions are derived using the principle of maximum Tsallis nonextensive entropy both in the full and half spaces. The rates of convergence to the exact Levy stable distributions are determined by taking the N-fold convolutions of these distributions. The marked difference between the problems in the full and half spaces is elucidated analytically. It is found that the rates of convergence depend on the ranges of the Levy indices. An important result emerging from the present analysis is deduced if interpreted in terms of random walks, implying the dependence of the asymptotic long-time behaviors of the walks on the ranges of the Levy indices if N is identified with the total time of the walks.

Macroscopic thermodynamics of equilibrium characterized by power-law canonical distributions

Macroscopic thermodynamics of equilibrium is constructed for systems obeying power-law canonical distributions. With this, the connection between macroscopic thermodynamics and microscopic statistical thermodynamics is generalized. This is complementary to the Gibbs theorem for the celebrated exponential canonical distributions of systems in contact with a heat bath. Thereby, a thermodynamic basis is provided for power-law phenomena ubiquitous in nature.

Ideal gas in nonextensive optimal Lagrange multipliers formalism

Based on the prescription termed the optimal Lagrange multipliers formalism for extremizing the Tsallis entropy indexed by q, it is shown that key aspects of the treatment of the ideal gas problem are identical in both the nonextensive and extensive cases.

Axioms and uniqueness theorem for Tsallis entropy

The Shannon-Khinchin axioms for the ordinary information entropy are generalized in a natural way to the nonextensive systems based on the concept of nonextensive conditional entropy, and a complete proof of the uniqueness theorem for the Tsallis entropy is presented.

Levy distribution in half space based on nonextensive statistical mechanics

Probability distributions defined on the half space are known to be quite different from those in the full space. Here, a nonextensive entropic treatment is presented for the half space in an analytic and self-consistent way. In this development, the ordinary first moment of the random variable X is divergent in contrast to the case of the full space. A general (nu)-th moment of X is considered as a constraint in the principle of maximum Tsallis entropy. The infinite divisibility of the distribution with an arbitrary (nu) larger than zero and convergence of its N-fold convolution to the exact Levy-stable distribution is discussed in detail. A feature of this derivation is that the Levy index is related to both the values of (nu) and the index of nonextensivity.

Statistical Mechanical Foundations for Systems with Nonexponential Distributions

Traditionally the exponential canonical distributions of Gibbsian statistical mechanics are given theoretical justification in at least four different ways: steepest descent method, counting method, Khinchin's method based on te central limit theorem, and maximum entropy principle of Jaynes. Equally ubiquitous power-law canonical distributions are shown to be given similar justification by appropriately adopting these formulations.

Towards Nonadditive Quantum Information Theory

A definition of the nonadditive (nonextensive) conditional entropy indexed by q is presented. Based on the composition law in terms of it, the Shannon-Khinchin axioms are generalized and the uniqueness theorem is established for the Tsallis entropy. The nonadditive conditional entropy, when considered in the quantum context, is always positive for separable states but takes negative values for entangled states, indicating its utility for characterizing entanglement. A criterion deduced from it for separability of the density matrix is examined in detail by using a bipartite spin-half system. It is found that the strongest criterion for separability obtained by Peres using an algebraic method is recovered in the present information-theoretic approach.

Justification of Power-Law Canonical Distributions Based on Generalized Central Limit Theorem

A self-consistent thermodynamic framework is presented for power-law canonical distributions based on the generalized central limit theorem by extending the discussion given by Khinchin for deriving Gibbsian canonical ensemble theory. The thermodynamic Legendre transform structure is invoked in establishing its connection to nonextensive statistical mechanics.

Properties of convergence of nonextensive statistical distribution to the Levy distribution

It is shown that the distribution derived from the principle of maximum Tsallis entropy is a superposable Levy-type distribution. Concomitantly, the leading order correction to the limit distribution is also deduced. This demonstration fills an important gap in the derivation of the Levy-stable distribution from the nonextensive statistical framework.
