We study the question of how reliably one can distinguish two quantum field theories (QFTs). Each QFT defines a probability distribution on the space of fields. The relative entropy provides a notion of proximity between these distributions…

Distance measures between quantum states like the trace distance and the fidelity can naturally be defined by optimizing a classical distance measure over all measurement statistics that can be obtained from the respective quantum states.…

We exhibit a two-parameter class of states $\rho_{(\alpha,\gamma)}$, in $2\otimes n$ quantum system for $n\ge 3$, which can be obtained from an arbitrary state by means of local quantum operations and classical communication, and which are…

Fidelity is crucial for characterizing transformations of quantum states under various quantum channels, which can be served as a fundamental tool in resource theories. Firstly, we define an $\alpha$-$z$-fidelity as a significant quantity…

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 relative entropy between quantum states quantifies their distinguishability. The estimation of certain relative entropies has been investigated in the literature, e.g., the von Neumann relative entropy and sandwiched R\'enyi relative…

The entropy accumulation theorem states that the smooth min-entropy of an $n$-partite system $A = (A_1, \ldots, A_n)$ is lower-bounded by the sum of the von Neumann entropies of suitably chosen conditional states up to corrections that are…
