For the sandwiched R\'enyi entropy the conditional entropy can be defined two ways: $\widetilde{H}^\downarrow_\alpha(A|B)_\rho, \widetilde{H}^\uparrow_\alpha(A|B)_\rho$. In the limiting case, $\alpha=1$, both definitions consolidate into…

We investigate quantum R\'enyi entropic quantities, specifically those derived from 'sandwiched' divergence. This divergence is one of several proposed R\'enyi generalisations of the quantum relative entropy. We may define R\'enyi…

We present chain rules for a new definition of the quantum R\'enyi conditional entropy sometimes called the "sandwiched" R\'enyi conditional entropy. More precisely, we prove analogues of the equation $H(AB|C) = H(A|BC) + H(B|C)$, which…
