Abstract
Abstract Entropy change in a quantum state of cavity photons is investigated in the continuous measurement of photon number that is characterized by the quantum Markov process. It is shown that the average value of the entropy change in the quantum state of cavity photons is equal to the Shannon mutual information obtained from the outcome exhibited by the photodetector. Furthermore it is found that the entropy change reflects the photon statistics of the quantum state of cavity photons.
