Excerpt: ... Theory of Quantum Information Lecture Notes John Watrous (Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo) Lecture 8 Properties of the von Neumann entropy In the previous lecture we defined the Shannon and von Neumann entropy functions, and established the fundamental connection between these functions and the notion of compression. In this lecture and the next we will look more closely at the von Neumann entropy in order to establish some basic properties of this function, as well as an important related function called the quantum relative entropy. 8.1 Continuity of von Neumann entropy The first property we will establish about the von Neumann entropy is that it is continuous everywhere on its domain. 8.1.1 Continuity of the Shannon entropy First, let us define a real valued function : [0, ) R as follows: () = - ln() > 0 0 = 0. This function is continuous everywhere on its domain, and derivatives of all orders exist for all positive real numbers. In particular we have () = -(1 + ln() and ...

Excerpt: ... Arch. Hist. Exact Sci. 56 (2001) 3968 c Springer-Verlag 2001 John von Neumann s Conception of the Minimax Theorem: A Journey Through Different Mathematical Contexts Tinne Hoff Kjeldsen Communicated by J. Gray 1. Introduction The rst purpose of this paper is to tell the history of John von Neumann s development of the minimax theorem for two-person zero-sum games from his rst proof of the theorem in 1928 until 1944 when he gave a completely different proof in the rst coherent book on game theory. I will argue that von Neumann s conception of this theorem as a theorem belonging to the theory of linear inequalities as well as his awareness of its connection to xed point theorems were absent in 1928. In contradiction to the impression given in the literature these connections were only gradually recognized by von Neumann over time. By reading this knowledge into von Neumann s rst proof of the minimax theorem from 1928 a major part of the cognitive development of this theorem is neglecte ...

1jHalmos
Princeton, PUP 100
Excerpt: ... 1942 Finite Dimensional Vector Spaces (Click here to view our web site description.) Paul R. Halmos A s a newly minted Ph.D., Paul Halmos came to the Institute for Advanced Study in 1938 -even though he did not have a fellowship-to study among the many giants of mathematics who had recently joined the faculty. He eventually became John von Neumann 's research assistant, and it was one of von Neumann 's inspiring lectures that spurred Halmos to write Finite Dimensional Vector Spaces. The book brought him instant fame as an expositor of mathematics. Finite Dimensional Vector Spaces combines algebra and geometry to discuss the three-dimensional area where vectors can be plotted. The book broke ground as the first formal introduction to linear algebra, a branch of modern mathematics that studies vectors and vector spaces. The book continues to exert its influence sixty years after publication, as linear algebra is now widely used, not only in mathematics but also in the natural and social sciences, for studyi ...

Excerpt: ... G22.3220-001 Cryptography and Imperfect Randomness January 24, 2006 Lecture 2 Lecturer: Yevgeniy Dodis Scribe: Carl Bosley and Jonghaw Lee Administrative notes: Everyone should sign up for the mailing list. Everyone who takes the class for credit is expected to do scribe notes, so be sure to sign up soon. Perfect randomness is often impractical and hard to obtain. So how do we make use of the imperfect randomness sources? This lecture we look at some examples of randomness extraction: Von Neumann s Coin, Markov Chains and Blums extraction. 1 Imperfect Randomness Randomness is used everywhere in Cryptography. Our examples last lecture assumed unbiased, independent random bits. This assumption is too strong for many real scenarios: Physical sources (hard disk latency, etc) are not truly independent and unbiased. Biometrics Partial key exposure Attacker learns part of the secret key, e.g. by microwaving a smartcard Question: Can we base cryptography on weaker (more realistic) assumptio ...
