Let $S(\rho)$ be the von Neumann entropy of a density matrix $\rho$. Weak monotonicity asserts that $S(\rho_{AB}) - S(\rho_A) + S(\rho_{BC}) - S(\rho_C)\geq 0$ for any tripartite density matrix $\rho_{ABC}$, a fact that is equivalent to the…

A conjecture -- \emph{the modified super-additivity inequality} of relative entropy -- was proposed in \cite{Zhang2012}: There exist three unitary operators $U_A\in \unitary{\cH_A},U_B\in \unitary{\cH_B}$, and $U_{AB}\in \unitary{\cH_A\ot…

Uhlmann's theorem states that, for any two quantum states $\rho_{AB}$ and $\sigma_A$, there exists an extension $\sigma_{AB}$ of $\sigma_A$ such that the fidelity between $\rho_{AB}$ and $\sigma_{AB}$ equals the fidelity between their…

The strong subadditivity inequality of von Neumann entropy relates the entropy of subsystems of a tripartite state $\rho_{ABC}$ to that of the composite system. Here, we define $\boldsymbol{T}^{(a)}(\rho_{ABC})$ as the extent to which…

Multipartite quantum system is complex. Characterizing the relations among the three bipartite reduced density operators $\rho_{AB}$, $\rho_{AC}$ and $\rho_{BC}$ of a tripartite state $\rho_{ABC}$ has been an open problem in quantum…

The strong subadditivity of entropy plays a key role in several areas of physics and mathematics. It states that the entropy S[\rho]= - Tr (\rho \ln \rho) of a density matrix \rho_{123} on the product of three Hilbert spaces satisfies…

We give a new proof of the operator extension of the strong subadditivity of von Neumann entropy $\rho_{AB} \otimes \sigma_{C}^{-1} \leq \rho_{A} \otimes \sigma_{BC}^{-1}$ by identifying the mathematical structure behind it as Connes'…

Quantum key distribution uses public discussion protocols to establish shared secret keys. In the exploration of ultimate limits to such protocols, the property of symmetric extendibility of underlying bipartite states $\rho_{AB}$ plays an…

We investigate the distributions of quantum coherence characterized by superadditivity relations in multipartite quantum systems. General superadditivity inequalities based on the $\alpha$th ($\alpha\geqslant 1$) power of $l_1$ norm of…

We prove that the relative entropy of entanglement is additive when \emph{at least one of the two states} belongs to some specific class. We show that these classes include bipartite pure, maximally correlated, GHZ, Bell diagonal,…

For the maximal operator $ M $ on $ \mathbb R ^{d}$, and $ 1< p , \rho < \infty $, there is a finite constant $ D = D _{p, \rho }$ so that this holds. For all weights $ w, \sigma $ on $ \mathbb R ^{d}$, the operator $ M (\sigma \cdot )$ is…

We introduce a composition of quantum states of a bipartite system which is based on the reshuffling of density matrices. This non-Abelian product is associative and stems from the composition of quantum maps acting on a simple quantum…

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 challenge of equality in the strong subadditivity inequality of entropy is approached via a general additivity of correlation information in terms of nonoverlapping clusters of subsystems in multipartite states (density operators). A…

In this article, we present a new subadditivity behavior of convex and concave functions, when applied to Hilbert space operators. For example, under suitable assumptions on the spectrum of the positive operators $A$ and $B$, we prove that…

We prove the following theorem about relative entropy of quantum states. "Substate theorem: Let rho and sigma be quantum states in the same Hilbert space with relative entropy S(rho|sigma) = Tr rho (log rho - log sigma) = c. Then for all…

We present a formula for the relative entropy S(rho||sigma) of two n mode gaussian states rho, sigma in the boson Fock space. It is shown that the relative entropy has a classical and a quantum part: The classical part consists of a…

We define an infinite dimensional modification of lower-semicomputability of density operators by G\'acs with an attempt to fix some problem in the paper. Our attempt is partly achieved by showing the existence of universal operator under…

It is known that relative entropy of entanglement for entangled state $\rho$ is defined via its closest separable (or positive partial transpose) state $\sigma$. Recently, it has been shown how to find $\rho$ provided that $\sigma$ is given…

I prove a basic inequality for Schatten q-norms of quantum states on a finite-dimensional bipartite Hilbert space H_1\otimes H_2: 1+||\rho||_q \ge ||\trace_1\rho||_q + ||\trace_2\rho||_q. This leads to a proof--in the finite dimensional…
