Abstract

[The transition to density matrices in QM is facilitated by reformulating the ‘classical’ (i.e., non-quantum) results about logical entropy using density matrices. Then the transition to the quantum version of logical entropy is made using the semi-algorithmic procedure of “linearization.” Given a concept applied to sets, apply that concept to the basis set of a vector space and whatever it linearly generates gives the corresponding vector space concept.
