In this paper we deal with two quantum relative entropy preserver problems on the cones of positive (either positive definite or positive semidefinite) operators. The first one is related to a quantum R\'enyi relative entropy like quantity…

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…

The R\'enyi entropy is a mathematical generalization of the concept of entropy and it encodes the total information of a system as a funtion of its order parameter $\alpha$. The meaning of the R\'enyi entropy in physics is not completely…

Quantum relative entropy $D(\rho\|\sigma)\defeq\Tr \rho (\log \rho- \log \sigma)$ plays an important role in quantum information and related fields. However, there are many quantum analogues of relative entropy. In this paper, we…

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…

We investigate the universal inequalities relating the alpha-Renyi entropies of the marginals of a multi-partite quantum state. This is in analogy to the same question for the Shannon and von Neumann entropy (alpha=1) which are known to…

In this note we give a characterization of a family of relative entropies on open domain depending on a real parameter $\alpha$ based on recursivity and symmetry. In the cases $\alpha=1$ and $\alpha=0$ we use additionally a weak regularity…

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…

This paper introduces "swiveled Renyi entropies" as an alternative to the Renyi entropic quantities put forward in [Berta et al., Phys. Rev. A 91, 022333 (2015)]. What distinguishes the swiveled Renyi entropies from the prior proposal of…
