The relative entropy of two n-party quantum states is an important quantity exhibiting, for example, the extent to which the two states are different. The relative entropy of the states formed by reducing two n-party to a smaller number $m$…

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 study minimization of a parametric family of relative entropies, termed relative $\alpha$-entropies (denoted $\mathscr{I}_{\alpha}(P,Q)$). These arise as redundancies under mismatched compression when cumulants of compressed lengths are…
