This paper advances the theoretical understanding of entropy production in repeated quantum measurements by characterizing KMS detailed balance conditions through time-reversal symmetry and informationally complete instruments. Such foundational work is critical for refining thermodynamic limits in future fault-tolerant quantum computing architectures and error-correction protocols. It represents a significant step toward integrating non-equilibrium statistical mechanics into the core design of scalable quantum systems.
On entropy production of repeated quantum measurements III. Quantum detailed balance
arXiv:2511.00910v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In light of the dynamical-systems approach to entropy production in repeated quantum measurements, proposed and illustrated in Commun. Math. Phys. 357, 77-123 (2018) [arXiv:1607.00162] and J. Stat. Phys. 182, 44 (2021) [arXiv:2012.03885], we characterize the KMS quantum detailed balance condition for quantum channels via time-reversal invariance and the vanishing of the entropy production for the associated informationally complete quantum instruments.
