It is known that a necessary and sufficient condition for equality in the data processing inequality (DPI) for the quantum relative entropy is the existence of a recovery map. We show that equality in DPI for a sandwiched R\'enyi relative…

We prove a variety of new and refined uniform continuity bounds for entropies of both classical random variables on an infinite state space and of quantum states of infinite-dimensional systems. We obtain the first tight continuity estimate…

This paper gives upper and lower bounds on the minimum error probability of Bayesian $M$-ary hypothesis testing in terms of the Arimoto-R\'enyi conditional entropy of an arbitrary order $\alpha$. The improved tightness of these bounds over…

We study the behaviour of R\'enyi entropies in a generic thermodynamic macrostate of an integrable model. In the standard quench action approach to quench dynamics, the R\'enyi entropies may be derived from the overlaps of the initial state…

We study the Hoeffding regime of composite quantum hypothesis testing, in which each hypothesis is specified by a sequence of sets of quantum states. We establish quantum Hoeffding bounds under a set of structural assumptions, orthogonal to…

We study the entanglement transition in monitored Brownian SYK chains in the large-$N$ limit. Without measurement the steady state $n$-th R\'enyi entropy is obtained by summing over a class of solutions, and is found to saturate to the Page…

In this article we propose a quantum version of Shannon's conditional entropy. Given two density matrices $\rho$ and $\sigma$ on a finite dimensional Hilbert space and with $S(\rho)=-\tr\rho\ln\rho$ being the usual von Neumann entropy, this…

The entanglement entropies of $XY$ chains and quantum Ising chains (QICs) with fixed boundary conditions are studied here. Three kinds of boundary conditions (BCs) are considered: fixed up--up or down--down (the spins at both ends are…

The $\alpha$-$z$ R\'enyi relative entropies are a two-parameter family of R\'enyi relative entropies that are quantum generalizations of the classical $\alpha$-R\'enyi relative entropies. In \cite{zhang20CFL} we decided the full range of…

Coherence of a quantum state intrinsically depends on the choice of the reference basis. A natural question to ask is the following: if we use two or more incompatible reference bases, can~there be some trade-off relation between the…

Configurational entropy, or complexity, plays a critical role in characterizing disordered systems such as glasses, yet its measurement often requires significant computational resources. Recently, R\'enyi entropy, a one-parameter…

The Renyi distribution ensuring the maximum of a Renyi entropy is investigated for a particular case of a power--law Hamiltonian. Both Lagrange parameters, $\alpha$ and $\beta$ can be excluded. It is found that $\beta$ does not depend on a…

Entropy measures quantify the amount of information and correlation present in a quantum system. In practice, when the quantum state is unknown and only copies thereof are available, one must resort to the estimation of such entropy…
