A Bayesian functorial characterization of the classical relative entropy (KL divergence) of finite probabilities was recently obtained by Baez and Fritz. This was then generalized to standard Borel spaces by Gagn\'e and Panangaden. Here, we…

Unitarity provides mathematical and physical constraints on quantum information systems. e.g., in entanglement swapping, unitarity requires the same von Neumann entanglement entropy generation for either a particle interaction or an act of…

The relative entropy of two n-party quantum states is an important quantity exhibiting, for example, the extent to which the two states are different. The relative entropy of the states formed by reducing two n-party to a smaller number $m$…

In this paper it was proved that the quantum relative entropy $D(\sigma \| \rho)$ can be asymptotically attained by Kullback Leibler divergences of probabilities given by a certain sequence of POVMs. The sequence of POVMs depends on $\rho$,…

A common approach to evaluate entropy in quantum systems is to solve a master-Bloch equation to determine density matrix and substitute it in entropy definition. However, this method has been recently understood to lack many energy…

Entropic uncertainty is a well-known concept to formulate uncertainty relations for continuous variable quantum systems with finitely many degrees of freedom. Typically, the bounds of such relations scale with the number of oscillator…

Similarity-sensitive entropy measures the uncertainty of a probability law relative to a similarity kernel that encodes the distinguishability between states. We develop a measure-theoretic treatment covering both finite similarity matrices…

Uncertainty principle is one of the cornerstones of quantum theory. In the literature, there are two types of uncertainty relations, the operator form concerning the variances of physical observables and the entropy form related to entropic…
