In this paper we investigate the inequality $S_q(\rho_{123})+S_q(\rho_2)\leq S_q(\rho_{12})+S_q(\rho_{23}) \, (*)$ where $\rho_{123}$ is a state on a finite dimensional Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_1\otimes \mathcal{H}_2\otimes…
The strong subadditivity of entropy plays a key role in several areas of physics and mathematics. It states that the entropy S[\rho]= - Tr (\rho \ln \rho) of a density matrix \rho_{123} on the product of three Hilbert spaces satisfies…
If $a$ is a quantum effect and $\rho$ is a state, we define the $\rho$-entropy $S_a(\rho )$ which gives the amount of uncertainty that a measurement of $a$ provides about $\rho$. The smaller $S_a(\rho )$ is, the more information a…
The study of conditional $q$-entropies in composite quantum systems has recently been the focus of considerable interest, particularly in connection with the problem of separability. The $q$-entropies depend on the density matrix $\rho$…
Let $S(\rho)=- Tr (\rho \log\rho)$ be the von Neumann entropy of an $N$-dimensional quantum state $\rho$ and $e_2(\rho)$ the second elementary symmetric polynomial of the eigenvalues of $\rho$. We prove the inequality $S(\rho) \le c(N)…
We define 2-indexed $(q,p)$-Schatten quasi-norms for any $q,p > 0$ on operators on a tensor product of Hilbert spaces, naturally extending the norms defined by Pisier's theory of operator-valued Schatten spaces. We establish several…
A proof of the quantum $H$-theorem taking into account nonextensive effects on the quantum entropy $S^Q_q$ is shown. The positiveness of the time variation of $S^Q_q$ combined with a duality transformation implies that the nonextensive…
The property of superadditivity of the quantum relative entropy states that, in a bipartite system $\mathcal{H}_{AB}=\mathcal{H}_A \otimes \mathcal{H}_B$, for every density operator $\rho_{AB}$ one has $ D( \rho_{AB} || \sigma_A \otimes…
Within the framework on non-extensive thermostatistics we revisit the recently advanced q-duality concept. We focus our attention here on a modified q-entropic measure of the spatial inhomogeneity for binary patterns. At a fixed…
In this article we propose a quantum version of Shannon's conditional entropy. Given two density matrices $\rho$ and $\sigma$ on a finite dimensional Hilbert space and with $S(\rho)=-\tr\rho\ln\rho$ being the usual von Neumann entropy, this…
We investigate the computational complexity of estimating the trace of quantum state powers $\text{tr}(\rho^q)$ for an $n$-qubit mixed quantum state $\rho$, given its state-preparation circuit of size $\text{poly}(n)$. This quantity is…
Let $q, r, s \geqslant 1$ satisfy $\frac{1}{2q} + \frac{1}{2r} = \frac{1}{s}$ and $X \in \mathcal{C}_s(\mathcal{H})$. If $(\lambda_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}, (w_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ are sequences in $(0,+\infty)$ and $(\lambda_n^{(1-q)/(2q)}…
We introduce a new notion of a sufficient subalgebra for quantum states: a subalgebra is 2- sufficient for a pair of states $\{\rho_0,\rho_1\}$ if it contains all Bayes optimal tests of $\rho_0$ against $\rho_1$. In classical statistics,…
As often emerges in various basic quantum properties such as R\'enyi and Tsallis entropies, the trace of quantum state powers $\text{tr}(\rho^q)$ has attracted a lot of attention. The recent work of Liu and Wang (SODA 2025) showed that,…
We revisit the relationship between quantum separability and the sign of the relative q-entropies of composite quantum systems. The q-entropies depend on the density matrix eigenvalues p_i through the quantity omega_q = sum_i p_i^q. Renyi's…
In this article, we show that in a $Q$-doubling space $(X,d,\mu),$ $Q>1,$ that supports a $Q$-Poincar\'e inequality and satisfies a chain condition, sets of $Q$-capacity zero have generalized Hausdorff $h$-measure zero for…
We study the computational complexity of estimating the quantum $\ell_{\alpha}$ distance ${\mathrm{T}_\alpha}(\rho_0,\rho_1)$, defined via the Schatten $\alpha$-norm $\|A\|_{\alpha} = \mathrm{tr}(|A|^{\alpha})^{1/\alpha}$, given…
The Tsallis relative entropy $S_q (\hat{\rho},\hat{\sigma})$ measures the distance between two arbitrary density matrices $\hat{\rho}$ and $\hat{\sigma}$. In this work the approximation to this quantity when $q=1+\delta$ ($\delta\ll 1$) is…
Generalizations of the quantum Fano inequality are considered. The notion of $q$-entropy exchange is introduced. This quantity is concave in each of its two arguments. For $q\geq0$, the inequality of Fano type with $q$-entropic functionals…
Generalized entropies and relative entropies are the subject of active research. Similar to the standard relative entropy, the relative $q$-entropy is generally unbounded for $q>1$. Upper bounds on the quantum relative $q$-entropy in terms…
