Note on quantum dynamical entropies
No full textClassical dynamical entropy is an important tool to analyse the efficiency of information transmission in communication processes. Quantum dynamical entropy was first studied by Connes, Størmer and Emch. Since then, there have been many attempts to formulate or compute the dynamical entropy for some models. Here we review four formulations due to
1.(a) Connes, Narnhofer and Thirring,
2.(b) Ohya,
3.(c) Accardi, Ohya and Watanabe,
4.(d) Alicki and Fannes.
We consider mutual relations between these formulations and we show some concrete computations for a model

Distribution. Japan (Honshu). Etymology. The specific name is from the type locality “ Japan ”. Bionomics. Host is unknown. Adult wasps were collected from late May to July. Remarks. This species closely resembles P. qinyuanensis, but it can be distinguished from the following combination of character states (male of P. qinyuanensis is unknown): lateromedian longitudinal carina of propodeum completely parallel, not convergent anteriorly (almost parallel but slightly convergent anteriorly in P. qinyuanensis); malar space 0.6 times as long as basal width of mandible (0.5 times in P. qinyuanensis); antenna with 28–29 flagellomeres (30–34 in P. qinyuanensis); hind femur black, rarely tinged with red (largely red in P. qinyuanensis); hind tibia yellowish-brown basally, black apically (entirely black in P. qinyuanensis). Hind femur of a single female collected Biwakubo-sawa, Yamanashi Pref., with a reddish-brown area medially, while other character states of this specimen are well accorded with the character states of P. japonicum. Thus I conclude that it is unusual intraspecific variation. The World species of Pion may be distinguished by the following key.Published as part of Watanabe, Kyohei, 2016, First record of the genus Pion Schiødte, 1839 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Ctenopelmatinae), from Japan, with description of a new species, pp. 289-294 in Zootaxa 4103 (3) on pages 290-293, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4103.3.8, http://zenodo.org/record/26383
