We investigate the scaling of the R\'enyi $\alpha$-entropies in one-dimensional gapped quantum spin models. We show that the block entropies with $\alpha > 2$ violate the area law monotonicity and exhibit damped oscillations. Depending on…

The weak law of large numbers implies that, under mild assumptions on the source, the Renyi entropy per produced symbol converges (in probability) towards the Shannon entropy rate. This paper quantifies the speed of this convergence for…

We introduce a new quantum R\'enyi divergence $D^{\#}_{\alpha}$ for $\alpha \in (1,\infty)$ defined in terms of a convex optimization program. This divergence has several desirable computational and operational properties such as an…

Estimating divergences in a consistent way is of great importance in many machine learning tasks. Although this is a fundamental problem in nonparametric statistics, to the best of our knowledge there has been no finite sample exponential…

Recent results in quantization theory show that the mean-squared expected distortion can reach a rate of convergence of $\mathcal{O}(1/n)$, where $n$ is the sample size [see, e.g., IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 60 (2014) 7279-7292 or Electron.…

This work explores properties of Strong Data-Processing constants for R\'enyi Divergences. Parallels are made with the well-studied $\varphi$-Divergences, and it is shown that the order $\alpha$ of R\'enyi Divergences dictates whether…

We consider a two-parameter family of R\'enyi relative entropies $D_{\alpha,z}(\rho||\sigma)$ that are quantum generalisations of the classical R\'enyi divergence $D_{\alpha}(p||q)$. This family includes many known relative entropies (or…

Non-stabilizerness, or magic, is a resource for universal quantum computation in most fault-tolerant architectures; access to states with non-stabilizerness allows for non-classically simulable quantum computation to be performed.…
