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…
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…
Quantum generalizations of R\'enyi's entropies are a useful tool to describe a variety of operational tasks in quantum information processing. Two families of such generalizations turn out to be particularly useful: the Petz quantum R\'enyi…
Audenaert and Datta recently introduced a two-parameter family of relative R\'{e}nyi entropies, known as the $\alpha$-$z$-relative R\'{e}nyi entropies. The definition of the $\alpha$-$z$-relative R\'{e}nyi entropy unifies all previously…
It has been shown that the $\alpha-z$ R{\'e}nyi relative entropy satisfies the Data Processing Inequality (DPI) for a certain range of $\alpha$'s and $z$'s. Moreover, the range is completely characterized by Zhang in `20. We prove necessary…
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,…

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…

The data processing inequality (DPI) is a fundamental feature of information theory. Informally it states that you cannot increase the information content of a quantum system by acting on it with a local physical operation. When the smooth…
The Data Processing Inequality (DPI) says that the Umegaki relative entropy $S(\rho||\sigma) := {\rm Tr}[\rho(\log \rho - \log \sigma)]$ is non-increasing under the action of completely positive trace preserving (CPTP) maps. Let ${\mathcal…
It is well-known that any quantum channel $\mathcal{E}$ satisfies the data processing inequality (DPI), with respect to various divergences, e.g., quantum $\chi^2_{\kappa}$divergences and quantum relative entropy. More specifically, the…
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…

Most quantum divergences derive their structure from classical f-divergences or Renyi-type constructions, a dependence that obscures several quantum geometric effects. We introduce a quantum relative-alpha-entropy that extends Umegaki's…
