We discuss the paradigmatic bipartite spin-12 system having the probabilities (1+3x)/4 of being in the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen fully entangled state |Ψ−〉≡1/2(|↑〉A|↓〉B−|↓〉A|↑〉B) and 3(1−x)/4 of being orthogonal. This system is known to be separable if and only if...

We discuss here the use of generalized forms of entropy, taken as information measures, to characterize phase transitions and critical behavior in thermodynamic systems. Our study is based on geometric considerations pertaining to the space of parameters that describe statistical mechanics...

Tsallis’ q-triplet [C. Tsallis, Dynamical scenario for nonextensive statistical mechanics, Physica A 340 (2004) 1–10] is the best empirical quantifier of nonextensivity. Here we study it with reference to an experimental time-series related to the daily depth-values of the stratospheric...
