Lieb's Wehrl entropy lower-bound conjecture for spin states
Lieb's Wehrl entropy lower-bound conjecture for spin states
Let be the spin- function space, let be the normalized norm, and let
be the Wehrl entropy of an normalized by . Lieb's Wehrl entropy conjecture. For every such ,
and equality holds whenever is, up to a unimodular constant, a coherent vector. This bound would follow by endpoint differentiation from the preceding norm or Rényi–Wehrl conjecture. The source says that the relevant even-integer cases were known, but that the argument near was not available there; consequently the full entropy bound remained conjectural in the source.
