The continuity condition for the von Neumann entropy based on the special approximation
Year: 2009
Type: preprint
Abstract: The universal method of proving continuity of the von Neumann entropy on subsets of positive trace-class operators are considered. It makes possible to re-derive the known conditions of continuity of the entropy in the more general forms and to obtain the several new conditions. This method is based on the special approximation of the von Neumann entropy by the increasing sequence of concave continuous unitary invariant functions. Existence of this approximation is a corollary of the general property of the set of quantum states as a convex topological space called the strong stability property and considered in the first part of the paper.
