Abstract

Quantum relative entropy is a measure of the indistinguishability of two quantum states in the same Hilbert space. I will discuss the relative entropy between a state with periodic boundary conditions and one with twisted boundary conditions for a free 1+1 CFT with c=1. I will also highlight the unresolved discrepancy between analytic and numeric results.
