It is proved that the decrease of the quantum relative entropy under action of a quantum operation is a lower semicontinuous function of a pair of its arguments. This property implies, in particular, that the local discontinuity jumps of…
This paper introduces the induced divergence, a new quantum divergence measure that replaces the hypothesis testing divergence in position-based decoding, simplifying the analysis of quantum communication and state redistribution while…
We present full generalisations of entropic security and entropic indistinguishability to the quantum world where no assumption but a limit on the knowledge of the adversary is made. This limit is quantified using the quantum conditional…
TThe organization and structure of bipartite mixed-state quantum entanglement (QE) are more complex and less well understood compared to bipartite pure-state QE. Bipartite mixed-state QEs and their measures play a crucial role in both…
A convergent iterative procedure is proposed for the calculation of the relative entropy of entanglement of a given bipartite quantum state. When this state turns out to be non-separable the algorithm provides the corresponding optimal…
Incremental information, as measured by the quantum entropy, is increasing when two ensembles are united. This result was proved by Lieb and Ruskai, and it is the foundation for the proof of strong subadditivity of quantum entropy. We…
This work is concerned with the minimization of quantum entropies under local constraints of density, current, and energy. The problem arises in the work of Degond and Ringhofer about the derivation of quantum hydrodynamical models from…
We study an entropy measure for quantum systems that generalizes the von Neumann entropy as well as its classical counterpart, the Gibbs or Shannon entropy. The entropy measure is based on hypothesis testing and has an elegant formulation…
We show how recent results of Lieb and Seiringer [math-ph/0412009; Phys. Rev. A 71, 062329 (2005)] can be obtained from repeated use of the monotonicity of relative entropy under partial traces, and explain how to use their approach to…
The density matrix is a positive semidefinite operator of trace 1 characterizing the state of a quantum system. We consider the inverse problem to reconstruct such density matrices from indirect measurements, also known as quantum state…
We introduce an axiomatic approach to entropies and relative entropies that relies only on minimal information-theoretic axioms, namely monotonicity under mixing and data-processing as well as additivity for product distributions. We find…
We define the Wigner entropy of a quantum state as the differential Shannon entropy of the Wigner function of the state. This quantity is properly defined only for states that possess a positive Wigner function, which we name…
We describe quantum tomography as an inverse statistical problem and show how entropy methods can be used to study the behaviour of sieved maximum likelihood estimators. There remain many open problems, and a main purpose of the paper is to…
The relative entropy is a principal measure of distinguishability in quantum information theory, with its most important property being that it is non-increasing with respect to noisy quantum operations. Here, we establish a remainder term…
We show that Frenkel's integral representation of the quantum relative entropy provides a natural framework to derive continuity bounds for quantum information measures. Our main general result is a dimension-independent semi-continuity…
We use entropy numbers in combination with the polynomial method to derive a new general lower bound for the n-th minimal error in the quantum setting of information-based complexity. As an application, we improve some lower bounds on…
We propose to quantify the entanglement of pure states of $N \times N$ bipartite quantum system by defining its Husimi distribution with respect to $SU(N)\times SU(N)$ coherent states. The Wehrl entropy is minimal if and only if the pure…
Integral representations of quantum relative entropy, and of the directional second and higher order derivatives of von Neumann entropy, are established, and used to give simple proofs of fundamental, known data processing inequalities: the…
The idea of quantum relativity as a generalized, or rather deformed, version of Einstein (special) relativity has been taking shape in recent years. Following the perspective of deformations, while staying within the framework of Lie…
Quantum uncertainty relations are formulated in terms of relative entropy between distributions of measurement outcomes and suitable reference distributions with maximum entropy. This type of entropic uncertainty relation can be applied…
