Abstract:
The entropy of a quantum operation, defined as the von Neumann entropy of the corresponding Choi–Jamiołkowski state, characterizes the coupling of the principal system with the environment. For any quantum channel acting on a state of a given size, one defines the complementary channel, which sends the input state into the state of the environment after the operation. Making use of subadditivity of entropy, we show that for any dimension the sum of both entropies is bounded from below. This result characterizes the trade-off between the information on the initial quantum state accessible to the principal system and the information leaking to the environment. For one qubit maps we describe the interpolating family of depolarizing maps, for which the sum of both entropies gives the lower boundary of the region allowed in the space spanned by both entropies.
