Entropy Evolution in Consensus Networks

Abstract We investigate the evolution of the network entropy for consensus dynamics in classical and quantum networks. We show that in the classical case, the network differential entropy is monotonically non-increasing if the node initial values are continuous random variables. While for quantum co...
