This paper deals with measuring the Bayesian robustness of classes of contaminated priors. Two different classes of priors in the neighborhood of the elicited prior are considered. The first one is the well-known $\epsilon$-contaminated…

In this paper we provide the asymptotic theory of the general of $\phi$-divergences measures, which include the most common divergence measures : Renyi and Tsallis families and the Kullback-Leibler measure. We are interested in divergence…

In this paper we propose the use of $\phi$-divergences as test statistics to verify simple hypotheses about a one-dimensional parametric diffusion process $\de X_t = b(X_t, \theta)\de t + \sigma(X_t, \theta)\de W_t$, from discrete…

Under the Bayesian brain hypothesis, behavioural variations can be attributed to different priors over generative model parameters. This provides a formal explanation for why individuals exhibit inconsistent behavioural preferences when…

We obtain two new additivity results of quantum channels. The first one is the additivity of the channel R\'enyi information associated with the sandwiched R\'enyi divergence of order $\alpha\in[\frac{1}{2},1)$. To prove this, we introduce…

We explore properties of the $\chi^2$ and more general R\'enyi (Tsallis) distances to the normal law. In particular we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence to the normal law in the central limit theorem using…

Quantum key distribution requires tight and reliable bounds on the secret key rate to ensure robust security. This is particularly so for the regime of finite block sizes, where the optimization of generalized R\'enyi entropic quantities is…

Sandwiched (quantum) $\alpha$-R\'enyi divergence has been recently defined in the independent works of Wilde et al. (arXiv:1306.1586) and M\"uller-Lennert et al (arXiv:1306.3142v1). This new quantum divergence has already found applications…

We consider the problem of discriminating between two quantum coherent states by interpreting a single state like being a collection of several successive copies of weaker coherent states. By means of recent results on multiple-copy state…

Pinsker's inequality sets a lower bound on the Umegaki divergence of two quantum states in terms of their trace distance. In this work, we formulate corresponding estimates for a variety of quantum and classical divergences including…

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…

We consider the task of distinguishing whether a quantum system is prepared in a state from one of several sets of quantum states. Assuming their convexity and stability under tensor product, we prove that the optimal error exponent for…

The task of state discrimination for a set of mutually orthogonal pure states is trivial if one has access to the corresponding sharp (projection-valued) measurement, but what if we are restricted to an unsharp measurement? Given that any…

Relative entropy of coherence can be written as an entropy difference of the original state and the incoherent state closest to it when measured by relative entropy. The natural question is, if we generalize this situation to Tsallis or…

Many axiomatic definitions of entropy, such as the R\'enyi entropy, of a random variable are closely related to the $\ell_{\alpha}$-norm of its probability distribution. This study considers probability distributions on finite sets, and…

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…

The measured relative entropy and measured R\'enyi relative entropy are quantifiers of the distinguishability of two quantum states $\rho$ and $\sigma$. They are defined as the maximum classical relative entropy or R\'enyi relative entropy…

This paper is twofold. In the first part, we present a refinement of the R\'enyi Entropy Power Inequality (EPI) recently obtained in \cite{BM16}. The proof largely follows the approach in \cite{DCT91} of employing Young's convolution…

Any rule for identifying a quantum system's state within a set of two non-orthogonal pure states by a single measurement is flawed. It has a non-zero probability of either yielding the wrong result or leaving the query undecided. This also…

We explore a large class of correlation measures called the $\alpha-z$ R\'enyi mutual informations (RMIs). Unlike the commonly used notion of RMI involving linear combinations of R\'enyi entropies, the $\alpha-z$ RMIs are positive…
