摘要: In quantum information theory, von Neumann entropy plays an important role; it is related to quantum channel capacities. Only for a few states can one obtain their entropies. In a continuous variable system, numeric evaluation of entropy is not easy due to infinite dimensions. We develop the perturbation theory for systematically calculating von Neumann entropy of a non-degenerate system as well as a degenerate system.
