Entanglement R\'enyi-$\alpha$ entropy is an entanglement measure. It generalizes the entanglement of formation, and they coincide when $\alpha$ tends to 1. We derive analytical lower and upper bounds for the entanglement R\'enyi-$\alpha$…

We investigate bounds in the transmission of classical information through quantum systems. Our focus lies in the generalized Holevo theorem, which provides a single-letter Holevo-like inequality from arbitrary quantum distance measures.…

Estimating divergences in a consistent way is of great importance in many machine learning tasks. Although this is a fundamental problem in nonparametric statistics, to the best of our knowledge there has been no finite sample exponential…
