We propose a new family of regularized R\'enyi divergences parametrized not only by the order $\alpha$ but also by a variational function space. These new objects are defined by taking the infimal convolution of the standard R\'enyi…
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…
We prove the exponential convergence to the equilibrium, quantified by R\'enyi divergence, of the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation with drift given by the gradient of a strictly convex potential. This extends the classical exponential…
In this paper, we explore the concept of pseudo R\'enyi entropy within the context of quantum field theories (QFTs). The transition matrix is constructed by applying operators situated in different regions to the vacuum state. Specifically,…
We introduce a new quantum R\'enyi divergence $D^{\#}_{\alpha}$ for $\alpha \in (1,\infty)$ defined in terms of a convex optimization program. This divergence has several desirable computational and operational properties such as an…
A set of classical or quantum states is equivalent to another one if there exists a pair of classical or quantum channels mapping either set to the other one. For dichotomies (pairs of states), this is closely connected to (classical or…
