Quantum machine learning seeks a computational advantage in data processing by evaluating functions of quantum states, such as their similarity, that can be classically intractable to compute. For quantum advantage to be possible, however,…

We study a doubly minimized variant of the lautum information - a reversed analogue of the mutual information - defined as the minimum relative entropy between any product state and a fixed bipartite quantum state; we refer to this measure…
