Entropy Concentration and Universal Typicality for Weakly Almost i.i.d. Quantum Sources

Article scientifique 2026 Autre

Résumé

Weakly almost i.i.d. quantum sources are sequences of multipartite states whose fixed-size marginals converge, on average, to tensor powers of a reference state, while allowing arbitrary global correlations and entanglement. We establish two concentration principles for such sources: a noncommutative weak law of large numbers for empirical observables, and a universal entropy-concentration principle showing asymptotic concentration on subspaces of exponential dimension governed by the von Neumann entropy of the reference state. These concentration principles provide a unified and conceptually transparent approach to several information-theoretic applications beyond the i.i.d. setting, including direct proofs of universal compression within classes of weakly almost i.i.d. sources sharing a common reference state, asymmetric quantum hypothesis-testing bounds, concentration results for macroscopic observables in quantum many-body systems including generalized Gibbs ensembles and for repeated local measurement statistics, as well as bounds on smooth- and spectral entropy quantities.
