We discuss questions related to the Markov property and we present a definition of entropy which is induced by a QIFS. This definition is a natural generalization of the Shannon-Kolmogorov entropy from Ergodic Theory. This definition is different from the one in the paper \"A Thermodynamic Formalism for density matrices in Quantum Information\" by the same authors.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2010-03-25T15:42:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37A35", "37D35", "46L55", "46L30", "46L60", "82C10", "81Q50" ], "keywords": [ "quantum iterated function systems", "quantum stochastic processes", "definition", "natural generalization", "basic results" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0911.0182B" } } }
