Coherence measures based on sandwiched Rényi relative entropy

Monotonicity of a relative Rényi entropy

We show that a recent definition of relative Rényi entropy is monotone under completely positive, trace preserving maps. This proves a recent conjecture of Müller–Lennert et al. Recently, Müller–Lennert et al. [12] and Wilde et al. [15] modified the traditional notion of relative Rényi entropy and showed that their new definition has several desirable properties of a relative entropy. One of th...

Rényi squashed entanglement, discord, and relative entropy differences

The squashed entanglement quantifies the amount of entanglement in a bipartite quantum state, and it satisfies all of the axioms desired for an entanglement measure. The quantum discord is a measure of quantum correlations that are different from those due to entanglement. What these two measures have in common is that they are both based upon the conditional quantum mutual information. In [Ber...

On the Conditional Rényi Entropy

On Rényi entropy power inequalities

This paper is a follow-up of a recent work by Bobkov and Chistyakov, obtaining some improved Rényi entropy power inequalities (R-EPIs) for sums of independent random vectors. The first improvement relies on the same bounding techniques used in the former work, while the second significant improvement relies on additional interesting properties from matrix theory. The improvements obtained by th...

Measures of Maximal Relative Entropy

Given an irreducible subshift of finite type X , a subshift Y , a factor map π : X → Y , and an ergodic invariant measure ν on Y , there can exist more than one ergodic measure on X which projects to ν and has maximal entropy among all measures in the fiber, but there is an explicit bound on the number of such maximal entropy preimages.
