The Entropy-Based Quantum Metric

The von Neumann entropy S( D ^ ) generates in the space of quantum density matrices  D ^ the Riemannian metric ds2 = −d2S( D ^ ), which is physically founded and which characterises the amount of quantum information lost by mixing  D ^ and  D ^ + d D ^ . A rich geometric s...
