“…Notice that µ( F ) is now the effective competition between the driving force and the quenched noise. Equation (14) shows that the nonlinearity arises naturally as a consequence of the microscopic model. This explains the previous numerical results obtained by Amaral et al [4], that studied the effects of an effective coefficient λ ef f from a tilted interface showing that the nonlinear term must exist.…”
We present an analytical continuous equation for the Tang and Leschhorn model [Phys. Rev. A 45, R8309 (1992)] derived from their microscopic rules using a regularization procedure. As well in this approach, the nonlinear term (nablah)(2) arises naturally from the microscopic dynamics even if the continuous equation is not the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation [Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 889 (1986)] with quenched noise (QKPZ). Our equation is similar to a QKPZ equation but with multiplicative quenched and thermal noise. The numerical integration of our equation reproduces all the scaling exponents of the directed percolation depinning model.

According to quantum mechanics, the informational content of isolated systems does not change in time. However, subadditivity of entropy seems to describe an excess of information when we look at single parts of a composite systems and their correlations. Moreover, the balance between the entropic contributions coming from the various parts is not conserved under unitary transformations. Reasoning on the basic concept of quantum mechanics, we find that in such a picture an important term has been overlooked: the intrinsic quantum information encoded in the coherence of pure states. To fill this gap we are led to define a quantity, that we call coherent entropy, which is necessary to account for the "missing" information and for re-establishing its conservation. Interestingly, the coherent entropy is found to be equal to the information conveyed in the future by quantum states. The perspective outlined in this paper may be of some inspiration in several fields, from foundations of quantum mechanics to black-hole physics.
