From time-reversal symmetry to quantum Bayes' rules

AJ Parzygnat, J Fullwood - PRX Quantum, 2023‏ - APS
Bayes' rule, P (B| A) P (A)= P (A| B) P (B), is one of the simplest yet most profound,
ubiquitous, and far-reaching results of classical probability theory, with applications in any …

SVD entanglement entropy

AJ Parzygnat, T Takayanagi, Y Taki, Z Wei - Journal of High Energy …, 2023‏ - Springer
A bstract In this paper, we introduce a new quantity called SVD entanglement entropy. This
is a generalization of entanglement entropy in that it depends on two different states, as in …

Markov categories and entropy

P Perrone - IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2023‏ - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Markov categories are a novel framework to describe and treat problems in probability and
information theory. In this work we combine the categorical formalism with the traditional …

Free gs-monoidal categories and free Markov categories

T Fritz, W Liang - Applied Categorical Structures, 2023‏ - Springer
Categorical probability has recently seen significant advances through the formalism of
Markov categories, within which several classical theorems have been proven in entirely …

On quantum states over time

In 2017, D. Horsman, C. Heunen, M. Pusey, J. Barrett and R. Spekkens proved that there is
no physically reasonable assignment that takes a quantum channel and an initial state and …

Dilations and information flow axioms in categorical probability

T Fritz, T Gonda, NG Houghton-Larsen… - … Structures in Computer …, 2023‏ - cambridge.org
We study the positivity and causality axioms for Markov categories as properties of dilations
and information flow and also develop variations thereof for arbitrary semicartesian …

On dynamical measures of quantum information

J Fullwood, AJ Parzygnat - arxiv preprint arxiv:2306.01831, 2023‏ - arxiv.org
In this work, we use the theory of quantum states over time to define an entropy $ S
(\rho,\mathcal {E}) $ associated with quantum processes $(\rho,\mathcal {E}) $, where $\rho …

Reversing information flow: retrodiction in semicartesian categories

AJ Parzygnat - arxiv preprint arxiv:2401.17447, 2024‏ - arxiv.org
In statistical inference, retrodiction is the act of inferring potential causes in the past based
on knowledge of the effects in the present and the dynamics leading to the present …

An axiomatic characterization of mutual information

J Fullwood - Entropy, 2023‏ - mdpi.com
We characterize mutual information as the unique map on ordered pairs of discrete random
variables satisfying a set of axioms similar to those of Faddeev's characterization of the …

The metaphysical neutrality of cognitive science

KC Chen, J Yoshimi - Synthese, 2023‏ - Springer
Progress in psychology and the cognitive sciences is often taken to vindicate physicalism
and cast doubt on such extravagant metaphysical theses as dualism and idealism. The goal …
