The quantum relative entropy is a measure of the distinguishability of two quantum states, and it is a unifying concept in quantum information theory: many information measures such as entropy, conditional entropy, mutual information, and…
The optimized quantum $f$-divergences form a family of distinguishability measures that includes the quantum relative entropy and the sandwiched R\'enyi relative quasi-entropy as special cases. In this paper, we establish physically…
Given two density matrices $\rho$ and $\sigma$, there are a number of different expressions that reduce to the $\alpha$-R\'enyi relative entropy of $\rho$ with respect to $\sigma$ in the classical case; i.e., when $\rho$ and $\sigma$…
We study the $\alpha$-$z$-R\'enyi divergences $D_{\alpha,z}(\psi\|\varphi)$ where $\alpha,z>0$ ($\alpha\ne1$) for normal positive functionals $\psi,\varphi$ on general von Neumann algebras, introduced in [S.~Kato and Y.~Ueda,…

We study the speed of convergence of a primitive quantum time evolution towards its fixed point in the distance of sandwiched R\'enyi divergences. For each of these distance measures the convergence is typically exponentially fast and the…
Quantum information processing is limited, in practice, to efficiently implementable operations. This motivates the study of quantum divergences that preserve their operational meaning while faithfully capturing these computational…
We study the fundamental properties of the quantum f-relative entropy, where f(.) is an operator convex function. We give the equality conditions under monotonicity and joint convexity, and these conditions are more general than, since they…
We consider a two-parameter family of R\'enyi relative entropies $D_{\alpha,z}(\rho||\sigma)$ that are quantum generalisations of the classical R\'enyi divergence $D_{\alpha}(p||q)$. This family includes many known relative entropies (or…
Recently, an interesting quantity called the quantum Renyi divergence (or "sandwiched" Renyi relative entropy) was defined for pairs of positive semi-definite operators $\rho$ and $\sigma$. It depends on a parameter $\alpha$ and acts as a…
The fidelity-based smooth min-relative entropy is a distinguishability measure that has appeared in a variety of contexts in prior work on quantum information, including resource theories like thermodynamics and coherence. Here we provide a…
We propose a new family of regularized R\'enyi divergences parametrized not only by the order $\alpha$ but also by a variational function space. These new objects are defined by taking the infimal convolution of the standard R\'enyi…
We prove an achievability result for privacy amplification and decoupling in terms of the sandwiched R\'enyi entropy of order $\alpha \in (1,2]$; this extends previous results which worked for $\alpha=2$. The fact that this proof works for…
We derive a strengthened monotonicity inequality for quantum relative entropy by employing properties of $\alpha$-R\'{e}nyi relative entropy. We develop a unifying treatment towards the improvement of some quantum entropy inequalities. In…
We present chain rules for a new definition of the quantum R\'enyi conditional entropy sometimes called the "sandwiched" R\'enyi conditional entropy. More precisely, we prove analogues of the equation $H(AB|C) = H(A|BC) + H(B|C)$, which…
The sandwiched R\'enyi divergences of two finite-dimensional density operators quantify their asymptotic distinguishability in the strong converse domain. This establishes the sandwiched R\'enyi divergences as the operationally relevant…
Defining suitable quantum extensions of classical divergences often poses a challenge due to the non-commutative nature of quantum information. In this work, we propose a new approach via what we call the layer cake representation. The…
