We investigate the changes in the entanglement of formation ΔE produced by quantum logical gates acting on composite quantum systems. We consider two-qubit, three-qubit, and two-qutrit systems. We prove that the ΔE-distributions generated by different quantum gates that can be obtained from...

We consider the change of entanglement of formation ΔE produced by the Hadamard-CNOT circuit on a general (pure or mixed) state ρ describing a system of two qubits. We study numerically the probabilities of obtaining different values of ΔE, assuming that the initial state is randomly...

We extend to general divergenceless systems the dynamical thermostatting approach to statistical ensembles proposed by Kusnezov, Bulgac and Bauer (KBB). Furthermore, a new family of dynamical systems inspired by the KBB method is introduced, and some of its properties considered.

We consider a monoparametric family of reaction–diffusion equations endowed with both a nonlinear diffusion term and a nonlinear reaction one that possess exact time-dependent particular solutions of the Tsallis’ maximum entropy (MaxEnt) form. The evolution of these solutions is governed by...

We show that effective masses in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics arise in a natural fashion from the Frieden and Soffer's Principle of Extremal Information (EPI) when the mean values of operators involving the momentum p̂ and exhibiting the form p̂f(x̂)p̂ are included as constraints. A...

We devise a maximum entropy technique to construct (approximate) time-dependent solutions to evolution equations endowed with source terms and, consequently, not preserving normalization. In some special cases the method yields exact solutions. It is shown that the present implementation of the...

Arguments of the Jaynes' maximum entropy sort have proved to be surprisingly successful in providing one with approximate descriptions of pure states in a variety of scenarios, entirely bypassing any consideration of Schrödinger's equation. Thus far, however, the concomitant algorithm was...

Given a set of non-commuting operators Ô1,…,ÔN, and the assumed knowledge of the expectation values of a subset containing just M of them, we discuss, in quite general terms, what can be predicted about the behaviour of the expectation values of the remaining operators when the concomitant...

The connection between Fisher's ideas concerning information measures and nonextensive thermostatistics (NET) is investigated. The Cramer-Rao bound is generalized to a NET environment. A relationship between Fisher's information and Tsallis' entropy is established.

The description of the temporal evolution of some physical systems is tackled from an information theory view-point in which Tsallis' entropy is extremalized with the constraints posed by the knowledge of the generalized expectation values of a selected set of observables. The concomitant...
