Abstract

This paper considers the problem of data compression for dependent quantum systems. It is the second in a series under the same title. As in the previous paper, we are interested in Lempel--Ziv encoding for quantum Gibbs ensembles. Here, we consider the canonical ideal lattice Bose- and Fermi-ensembles. We prove that as in the case of the grand canonical ensemble, the (limiting) von Neumann entropy rate h can be assessed, via the classical Lempel--Ziv universal coding algorithm, from a single eigenvector of the density matrix.
