Quantum Cross Entropy in Integrated Fluctuation Theorems

ORAL

Abstract

We discuss the role of quantum cross entropy from the perspective of integrated fluctuation

theorems beyond the standard two-time measurement scheme. We employ the one-time

measurement scheme to construct an entropy gain distribution which is conditioned on the

outcome of an initial projective measurement. Then, we demonstrate that lower bounds on the

total entropy gain are tighter than those derived from the two-time measurement scheme and, in

turn, yield upper bounds on the classical information lost over a noisy quantum channel. Further

discussion applies fluctuation theorems to quantum machine learning and the thermodynamics of

a system undergoing heat emission.
