R\'enyi divergence is related to R\'enyi entropy much like Kullback-Leibler divergence is related to Shannon's entropy, and comes up in many settings. It was introduced by R\'enyi as a measure of information that satisfies almost the same…
In this work, we prove uniform continuity bounds for entropic quantities related to the sandwiched R\'enyi divergences such as the sandwiched R\'enyi conditional entropy. We follow three different approaches: The first one is the "almost…
We identify a universal structural principle underlying the smoothing of classical divergences: the optimizer of the smoothing problem is a clipped probability vector, independently of the specific divergence. This yields a…
This paper introduces the variational R\'enyi bound (VR) that extends traditional variational inference to R\'enyi's alpha-divergences. This new family of variational methods unifies a number of existing approaches, and enables a smooth…

Uniform sampling over a convex body is a fundamental algorithmic problem, yet the convergence in KL or R\'enyi divergence of most samplers remains poorly understood. In this work, we propose a constrained proximal sampler, a principled and…
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…
The random variable simulation problem consists in using a $k$-dimensional i.i.d. random vector $X^{k}$ with distribution $P_{X}^{k}$ to simulate an $n$-dimensional i.i.d. random vector $Y^{n}$ so that its distribution is approximately…
We show finite-size bounds on the deviation of the optimal type II error from its asymptotic value in the quantum hypothesis testing problem of Stein's lemma with composite null-hypothesis. The proof is based on some simple properties of 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…
A central problem in quantum resource theory is to give operational meaning to quantum resources that can provide clear advantages in certain physical tasks compared to the convex set of resource-free states. We propose to extend this basic…
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…
This dissertation investigates relative entropies, also called generalized divergences, and how they can be used to characterize information-theoretic tasks in quantum information theory. The main goal is to further refine characterizations…
Quantum information decoupling is a fundamental quantum information processing task, which also serves as a crucial tool in a diversity of topics in quantum physics. In this paper, we characterize the reliability function of catalytic…
The concept of the smoothing parameter plays a crucial role in both lattice-based and code-based cryptography, primarily due to its effectiveness in achieving nearly uniform distributions through the addition of noise. Recent research by…
The concept of classical $f$-divergences gives a unified framework to construct and study measures of dissimilarity of probability distributions; special cases include the relative entropy and the R\'enyi divergences. Various quantum…
Many problems in information theory can be reduced to optimizations over matrices, where the rank of the matrices is constrained. We establish a link between rank-constrained optimization and the theory of quantum entanglement. More…
