Line 9:
By analogy with the classical conditional entropy, one defines the conditional quantum entropy as <math>S(\rho|\sigma) \ \stackrel{\mathrm{def}}{=}\ S(\rho,\sigma) - S(\sigma)</math>.
 
An equivalent (and more intuitive) operational definition of the quantum conditional entropy (as a measure of the [[quantum communication]] cost or surplus when performing [[quantum state]] merging) was given by [[Michał Horodecki]], [[Jonathan Oppenheim]], and [[Andreas Winter]] in their paper "Quantum Information can be negative" [http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0505062].
