Entropy Distance: New Quantum Phenomena

Stephan Weis and Andreas Knauf

Abstract

We study a curve of Gibbsian families of complex 3×3-matrices and point out new features, absent in commutative finite-dimensional algebras: a discontinuous maximum-entropy inference, a discontinuous entropy distance and non-exposed faces of the mean value set. We analyze these problems from various aspects including convex geometry, topology and information geometry. This research is motivated by a theory of info-max principles, where we contribute by computing first order optimality conditions of the entropy distance.
