Let pXY(x,y)=pX(x) pY∣X(y∣x)p_{XY}(x,y) = p_X(x)\,p_{Y|X}(y|x)pXY​(x,y)=pX​(x)pY∣X​(y∣x) with the conditional distribution pY∣Xp_{Y|X}pY∣X​ a classical channel NNN (WildeQIT.Channel α β), and pYn∣Xn(yn∣xn)≡∏ipY∣X(yi∣xi)p_{Y^n|X^n}(y^n|x^n) \equiv \prod_i p_{Y|X}(y_i|x_i)pYn∣Xn​(yn∣xn)≡∏i​pY∣X​(yi​∣xi​).

Definition 14.6.1 (Conditional sample entropy). H‾(yn∣xn)=−1nlog⁡pYn∣Xn(yn∣xn)\overline{H}(y^n|x^n) = -\frac{1}{n}\log p_{Y^n|X^n}(y^n|x^n)H(yn∣xn)=−n1​logpYn∣Xn​(yn∣xn).

Definition 14.6.2 (Conditionally typical set). For xn∈Xnx^n\in\mathcal{X}^nxn∈Xn,

TδYn∣xn≡{yn:∣H‾(yn∣xn)−H(Y∣X)∣≤δ}.T_\delta^{Y^n|x^n} \equiv \bigl\{ y^n : |\overline{H}(y^n|x^n) - H(Y|X)| \le \delta \bigr\}.TδYn∣xn​≡{yn:∣H(yn∣xn)−H(Y∣X)∣≤δ}.

Formalization Note. Channel.joint N p is the joint distribution pX(x)N(y∣x)p_X(x)N(y|x)pX​(x)N(y∣x); Channel.seqProb N x y is ∏iN(yi∣xi)\prod_i N(y_i|x_i)∏i​N(yi​∣xi​); condSampleEntropy N x y is H‾(yn∣xn)\overline{H}(y^n|x^n)H(yn∣xn); Channel.condEntropyOut N p is H(Y∣X)H(Y|X)H(Y∣X), the conditional entropy (Definition 10.2.1) of the pair (Y,X)(Y,X)(Y,X) under the joint distribution; weakCondTypicalSet p N x δ is the set, which requires pYn∣Xn(yn∣xn)>0p_{Y^n|X^n}(y^n|x^n) > 0pYn∣Xn​(yn∣xn)>0 explicitly (such sequences have H‾=+∞\overline{H} = +\inftyH=+∞ in the book; Lean's Real.logb 2 0 = 0 would otherwise admit them).

Wilde, *Quantum Information Theory* (2nd ed.), Definitions 14.6.1–14.6.2 (Conditional sample
entropy, conditionally typical set). With `p_{XY}(x,y) = p_X(x) p_{Y|X}(y|x)` and
`p_{Yⁿ|Xⁿ}(yⁿ|xⁿ) ≡ ∏ᵢ p_{Y|X}(yᵢ|xᵢ)`, the conditional sample entropy is
`H̄(yⁿ|xⁿ) = -(1/n) log p_{Yⁿ|Xⁿ}(yⁿ|xⁿ)` and
`T_δ^{Yⁿ|xⁿ} ≡ { yⁿ : |H̄(yⁿ|xⁿ) − H(Y|X)| ≤ δ }`.
The conditional distribution `p_{Y|X}` is a classical channel `N : Channel α β`. Output sequences of
conditional probability zero have `H̄ = +∞` in the book and are never conditionally typical, so the
set requires `p_{Yⁿ|Xⁿ}(yⁿ|xⁿ) > 0` explicitly (Lean's `Real.logb 2 0 = 0` would otherwise admit them).
