Von Neumann entropy
In quantum statistical mechanics, the von Neumann entropy, named after John von Neumann, is the extension of classical Gibbs entropy concepts to the field of quantum mechanics. For a quantum-mechanical system described by a density matrix , the von Neumann entropy is
: S = - \mathrm(\rho \ln \rho),
where tr denotes the trace and ln denotes the (natural) matrix logarithm. If is written in terms of its eigenvectors |1〉, |2〉, |3〉, ... as
: \rho = \sum_j \eta_j \left| j \right\rang \left\lang j \right| ~,
then the von Neumann entropy is merely〔
: S = -\sum_j \eta_j \ln \eta_j.
In this form, ''S'' can be seen to amount to the information theoretic Shannon entropy.〔
== Background ==

John von Neumann established a rigorous mathematical framework for quantum mechanics in his 1932 work ''Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics''.〔; 〕 In it, he provided a theory of measurement, where the usual notion of wave-function collapse is described as an irreversible process (the so-called von Neumann or projective measurement).
The density matrix was introduced, with different motivations, by von Neumann and by Lev Landau. The motivation that inspired Landau was the impossibility of describing a subsystem of a composite quantum system by a state vector. On the other hand, von Neumann introduced the density matrix in order to develop both quantum statistical mechanics and a theory of quantum measurements.

The density matrix formalism was developed to extend the tools of classical statistical mechanics to the quantum domain. In the classical framework we compute the partition function of the system in order to evaluate all possible thermodynamic quantities. Von Neumann introduced the density matrix in the context of states and operators in a Hilbert space. The knowledge of the statistical density matrix operator would allow us to compute all average quantities in a conceptually similar, but mathematically different way. Let us suppose we have a set of wave functions |''Ψ''〉 that depend parametrically on a set of quantum numbers ''n''1, ''n''2, ..., ''n''''N''. The natural variable which we have is the amplitude with which a particular wavefunction of the basic set participates in the actual wavefunction of the system. Let us denote the square of this amplitude by ''p''(''n''1, ''n''2, ..., ''n''''N''). The goal is to turn this quantity ''p'' into the classical density function in phase space. We have to verify that ''p'' goes over into the density function in the classical limit, and that it has ergodic properties. After checking that ''p''(''n''1, ''n''2, ..., ''n''''N'') is a constant of motion, an ergodic assumption for the probabilities ''p''(''n''1, ''n''2, ..., ''n''''N'') makes ''p'' a function of the energy only.
After this procedure, one finally arrives at the density matrix formalism when seeking a form where ''p''(''n''1, ''n''2, ..., ''n''''N'') is invariant with respect to the representation used. In the form it is written, it will only yield the correct expectation values for quantities which are diagonal with respect to the quantum numbers ''n''1, ''n''2, ..., ''n''''N''.

Expectation values of operators which are not diagonal involve the phases of the quantum amplitudes. Suppose we encode the quantum numbers ''n''1, ''n''2, ..., ''n''''N'' into the single index ''i'' or ''j''. Then our wave function has the form
: \left| \Psi \right\rangle \,=\, \sum_i a_i\, \left| \psi_i \right\rangle .
The expectation value of an operator ''B'' which is not diagonal in these wave functions, so
: \left\langle B \right\rangle \,=\, \sum_ a_i^a_j\, \left\langle i \right| B \left| j \right\rangle .
The role which was originally reserved for the quantities \left| a_i \right| ^2 is thus taken over by the density matrix of the system ''S''.
: \left\langle j \right| \, \rho \, \left| i \right\rangle \,=\, a_j \, a_i^ .
Therefore 〈''B''〉 reads
: \left\langle B \right\rangle \,=\, \mathrm (\rho \, B) ~.
The invariance of the above term is described by matrix theory. A mathematical framework was described where the expectation value of quantum operators, as described by matrices, is obtained by taking the trace of the product of the density operator ''ρ̂'' and an operator ''B̂'' (Hilbert scalar product between operators). The matrix formalism here is in the statistical mechanics framework, although it applies as well for finite quantum systems, which is usually the case, where the state of the system cannot be described by a pure state, but as a statistical operator ''ρ̂'' of the above form. Mathematically, ''ρ̂'' is a positive-semidefinite hermitian matrix with unit trace.
