Abstract
The Shannon-McMillan theorem is of fundamental importance in classical information theory, ergodic theory and probability theory. It is natural to ask, wether an analogous statement holds in the noncommutative setting of quantum information theory. For ergodic quantum sources we could prove a corresponding theorem with the von Neumann entropy replacing the classical metric entropy. Some generalizations and applications will be discussed.
