Entropy evolution law of a general linear state for diffusion noise

Abstract Based on the Kraus operator-sum representation of the analytical solution of the diffusion equation, we obtain the evolution of a general linear state in the diffusion channel. Also, we study the quantum statistical properties of the initial general linear state and its von-Neumann entropy evolution in the diffusion channel, especially find that the entropy evolution is influenced by the diffusion noise and the thermal parameter but without the displacement.
