Network edge entropy decomposition with spin statistics

作者：

Highlights：

• Decompose the global thermodynamic entropy of a network into components associated with its edges.

• Calculate network edge entropy from partition functions associated with classical and quantum statistics.

• Apply the edge entropy on the synthetic and real-world networks to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative differences in performance.
