Distributions of abundances or frequencies play an important role in many fields of science, from biology to sociology, as does the R\'enyi entropy, which measures the diversity of a statistical ensemble. We derive a mathematical relation…

An uncertainty relation for the R\'enyi entropies of conjugate quantum observables is used to obtain a strong Heisenberg limit of the form ${\rm RMSE} \geq f(\alpha)/(\langle N\rangle+\frac12)$, bounding the root mean square error of any…

Explicit classical states achieving maximal $f$-divergence are given, allowing for a simple proof of Matsumoto's Theorem, and the systematic extension of any inequality between classical $f$-divergences to quantum $f$-divergences. Our…

We give systematic ways of defining monotone quantum relative entropies and (multi-variate) quantum R\'enyi divergences starting from a set of monotone quantum relative entropies. Despite its central importance in information theory, only…

We extend the definitions of different types of quantum R\'enyi relative entropy from the finite dimensional setting of density matrices to density spaces of $C^*$-algebras. We show that those quantities (which trivially coincide in the…

We discuss some properties of the generalized entropies, called Renyi entropies and their application to the case of continuous distributions. In particular it is shown that these measures of complexity can be divergent, however, their…

In a certain sense we generalize the recently introduced and extensively studied notion called quantum R\'enyi divergence (in another name, sandwiched R\'enyi relative entropy) and describe the structures of corresponding symmetries. More…

A theory of thermodynamics has been recently formulated and derived on the basis of R\'enyi entropy and its relative versions. In this framework, we define the concepts of partition function, internal energy and free energy, and fundamental…

It is known that the variance and entropy of quantum observables decompose into intrinsically quantum and classical contributions. Here a general method of constructing quantum-classical decompositions of resources such as uncertainty is…

By using the overcompleteness of coherent states we find an alternative form of the unit operator for which the ket and the bra appearing under the integration sign do not refer to the same phase-space point. This defines a new quantum…

Quantum generalizations of Renyi's entropies are a useful tool to describe a variety of operational tasks in quantum information processing. Two families of such generalizations turn out to be particularly useful: the Petz quantum Renyi…

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…
