We obtain formulas for Petz-R\'enyi and Umegaki relative entropy from the idea of distribution of a positive selfadjoint operator. Classical results on R\'enyi and Kullback-Leibler divergences are applied to obtain new results and new…
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…
We derive a measurement-independent asymptotic continuity bound on the observational entropy for general POVM measurements, making essential use of its property of bounded concavity. The same insight is used to obtain continuity bounds for…
We study the estimation of relative entropy $D(\rho\|\sigma)$ when $\sigma$ is known. We show that the Cram\'{e}r-Rao type bound equals the relative varentropy. Our estimator attains the Cram\'{e}r-Rao type bound when the dimension $d$ is…
Let $\rho$ and $\mu$ be two probability measures on $\mathbb{R}$ which are not the Dirac mass at $0$. We denote by $H(\mu|\rho)$ the relative entropy of $\mu$ with respect to $\rho$. We prove that, if $\rho$ is symmetric and $\mu$ has 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…
We study a variant of quantum hypothesis testing wherein an additional 'inconclusive' measurement outcome is added, allowing one to abstain from attempting to discriminate the hypotheses. The error probabilities are then conditioned on a…
We introduce the notion of reduced relative quantum entropy and prove that it is convex. This result is then used to give a simplified proof of a theorem of Lieb and Seiringer.
Many thermodynamic relations involve inequalities, with equality if a process does not involve dissipation. In this article we provide equalities in which the dissipative contribution is shown to involve the relative entropy (a.k.a.…
The relative entropy of entanglement $E_R$ is defined as the distance of a multi-partite quantum state from the set of separable states as measured by the quantum relative entropy. We show that this optimisation is always achieved, i.e. any…
Uhlmann's theorem states that, for any two quantum states $\rho_{AB}$ and $\sigma_A$, there exists an extension $\sigma_{AB}$ of $\sigma_A$ such that the fidelity between $\rho_{AB}$ and $\sigma_{AB}$ equals the fidelity between their…
We provide an informal introduction to tensor field theories and to their associated renormalization group. We focus more on the general motivations coming from quantum gravity than on the technical details. In particular we discuss how…
We study quantum dichotomies and the resource theory of asymmetric distinguishability using a generalization of Strassen's theorem on preordered semirings. We find that an asymptotic variant of relative submajorization, defined on…
We present an analytical formula for the asymptotic relative entropy of entanglement for Werner states of arbitrary dimension. We then demonstrate its validity using methods from convex optimization. To our knowledge, this is the first case…
