We construct a 2-categorical extension of the relative entropy functor of Baez and Fritz, and show that our construction is functorial with respect to vertical morphisms. Moreover, we show such a `2-relative entropy' satisfies natural…

We review with a tutorial scope the information theory foundations of quantum statistical physics. Only a small proportion of the variables that characterize a system at the microscopic scale can be controlled, for both practical and…

A sharp quantitative version of the $L_p-$mixed volume inequality is established. This is achieved by exploiting an improved Jensen inequality. This inequality is a generalization of Pinsker-Csisz\'ar-Kullback inequality for the Tsallis…

We establish a reverse inequality for Tsallis relative operator entropy involving a positive linear map. In addition, we present converse of Ando's inequality, for each parameter. We give examples to compare our results with the known…

The uncertainty principle can be expressed in entropic terms, also taking into account the role of entanglement in reducing uncertainty. The information exclusion principle bounds instead the correlations that can exist between the outcomes…

The invariant response was defined from a formulation of the fluctuation-response theorem in the space of probability distributions. An inequality is here conjectured which sets the mutual information as an upper bound to the invariant…
