QuantumInfo.Entropy.VonNeumann

Quantum notions of information and entropy.

We start with quantities of _entropy_, namely the von Neumann entropy and its derived quantities: * Quantum conditional entropy, `qConditionalEnt` * Quantum mutual information, `qMutualInfo` * Coherent information, `coherentInfo` * Quantum conditional mutual information, `qcmi`. and then prove facts about them.

Vector-to-matrix mapping vMv \mapsto M

Given two finite index sets d1d_1 and d2d_2 and a vector v:d1×d2Cv: d_1 \times d_2 \to \mathbb{C} defined on their Cartesian product, this function constructs a matrix MMatd1×d2(C)M \in \text{Mat}_{d_1 \times d_2}(\mathbb{C}) whose entry at row id1i \in d_1 and column jd2j \in d_2 is defined as Mi,j=v(i,j)M_{i,j} = v(i, j).
