Abstract

We study here the elementary properties of the relative entropy \cH(A,B)=\tr[ϕ(A)ϕ(B)ϕ(B)(AB)]\cH(A,B)=\tr[\phi(A)-\phi(B)-\phi'(B)(A-B)] for ϕ\phi a convex function and A,BA,B bounded self-adjoint operators. In particular, we prove that this relative entropy is monotone if and only if ϕ\phi' is operator monotone. We use this to appropriately define \cH(A,B)\cH(A,B) in infinite dimension.
