We set out to demonstrate that the R\'enyi entropies with parameter $\alpha$ are better thought of as operating in a type of non-linear semiring called a positive semifield. We show how the R\'enyi's postulates lead to Pap's g-calculus…

We consider the generalization of the Araki-Uhlmann formula for relative entropy to Petz-R\'enyi relative entropy. We compute this entropy for a free scalar field in the Minkowski wedge between the vacuum and a coherent state, as well as…

We demonstrate that the condensed matter quantum systems encompassing two reservoirs connected by a junction permit a natural definition of flows of conserved measures, Renyi entropies. Such flows are similar to the flows of physical…

The $\alpha$-sandwiched R\'enyi divergence satisfies the data processing inequality, i.e. monotonicity under quantum operations, for $\alpha\geq 1/2$. In this article, we derive a necessary and sufficient algebraic condition for equality in…

We consider 3d N>= 2 superconformal field theories on a branched covering of a three-sphere. The Renyi entropy of a CFT is given by the partition function on this space, but conical singularities break the supersymmetry preserved in the…

Many of the traditional results in information theory, such as the channel coding theorem or the source coding theorem, are restricted to scenarios where the underlying resources are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) over a…
