We study the generalisation of relative entropy, the Renyi divergence $D_{\alpha} ( \rho||\rho_\beta) $ in 2$d$ CFTs between an excited state density matrix $\rho$, created by deforming the Hamiltonian, and the thermal density matrix…

Many quantum information measures can be written as an optimization of the quantum relative entropy between sets of states. For example, the relative entropy of entanglement of a state is the minimum relative entropy to the set of separable…

We show that the quantum $\alpha$-relative entropies with parameter $\alpha\in (0,1)$ can be represented as generalized cutoff rates in the sense of [I. Csiszar, IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 41, 26-34, (1995)], which provides a direct…

The Renyi entropy is a generalization of the usual concept of entropy which depends on a parameter q. In fact, Renyi entropy is closely related to free energy. Suppose we start with a system in thermal equilibrium and then suddenly divide…
