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…
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…
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…
The data processing inequality (DPI) is a scalar inequality satisfied by distinguishability measures on density matrices. For some distinguishability measures, saturation of the scalar DPI implies an operator equation relating the arguments…
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,…
We provide a transparent, simple and unified treatment of recent results on the equality conditions for the data processing inequality (DPI) of the sandwiched quantum R\'enyi divergence, including the statement that equality in the data…
Given two density matrices $\rho$ and $\sigma$, there are a number of different expressions that reduce to the $\alpha$-R\'enyi relative entropy of $\rho$ with respect to $\sigma$ in the classical case; i.e., when $\rho$ and $\sigma$…
The $\alpha$-sandwiched R\'enyi divergence satisfies the data processing inequality, i.e. monotonicity under quantum operations, for $\alpha\geq 1/2$. In this article, we derive a necessary and sufficient algebraic condition for equality in…
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…
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…
We derive a new bound on the effectiveness of the Petz map as a universal recovery channel in approximate quantum error correction using the second sandwiched R\'{e}nyi relative entropy $\tilde{D}_{2}$. For large Hilbert spaces, our bound…
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…
We propose an extension of the sandwiched R\'enyi relative $\alpha$-entropy to normal positive functionals on arbitrary von Neumann algebras, for the values $\alpha>1$. For this, we use Kosaki's definition of noncommutative $L_p$-spaces…

In this article, we obtain the precise range of the values of the parameter $\alpha$ such that Petz-R\'enyi $\alpha$-relative entropy $D_{\alpha}(\rho||\sigma)$ of two displaced thermal states is finite. More precisely, we prove that, given…
In this paper, we discuss the quantum data processing inequality and its refinements that are physically meaningful in the context of approximate recoverability. An important conjecture regarding this due to Seshadreesan et. al. in J. Phys.…
