We propose an extension of the sandwiched R\'enyi relative $\alpha$-entropy to normal positive functionals on arbitrary von Neumann algebras, for the values $\alpha>1$. For this, we use Kosaki's definition of noncommutative $L_p$-spaces…

The famous Ham-Sandwich theorem states that any $d$ point sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be simultaneously bisected by a single hyperplane. The $\alpha$-Ham-Sandwich theorem gives a sufficient condition for the existence of biased cuts, i.e.,…

A strengthened Lindblad inequality has been proved. We have applied this result for proving a generalized $H$-theorem in non equilibrium thermodynamics. Information processing also can be considered as some thermodynamic process. From this…
