This chapter defines and explores the properties of quantum mutual and coherent information. The classical capacities and quantum capacities of quantum channels can be expressed in terms of this information in later chapters.
Roughly speaking, quantum mutual information, or von Neumann mutual information, after John von Neumann, is a measure of correlation between subsystems of quantum state. It is the quantum mechanical analog of Shannon mutual information, whereas coherent information is an entropy measure used in quantum information theory. It is a property of a quantum state ρ and a quantum channel Φ and it attempts to describe how much of the quantum information in the state will remain after ...
