Rényi Divergences, Bures Geometry and Quantum Statistical Thermodynamics
The Bures geometry of quantum statistical thermodynamics at thermal equilibrium is investigated by introducing the connections between the Bures angle and the Rényi 1/2-divergence. Fundamental relations concerning free energy, moments of work, and distance are established.
متن کاملCoding Theorems for Compound Problems via Quantum Rényi Divergences
We show two-sided bounds between the traditional quantum Rényi divergences and the new notion of Rényi divergences introduced recently in Müller-Lennert, Dupuis, Szehr, Fehr and Tomamichel, J. Math. Phys. 54, 122203, (2013), and Wilde, Winter, Yang, arXiv:1306.1586. The bounds imply that the two versions can be used interchangeably near α = 1, and hence one can benefit from the best properties ...
متن کاملA variational characterization of Rényi divergences
Atar, Chowdhary and Dupuis have recently exhibited a variational formula for exponential integrals of bounded measurable functions in terms of Rényi divergences. We develop a variational characterization of the Rényi divergences between two probability distributions on a measurable space in terms of relative entropies. When combined with the elementary variational formula for exponential integr...
متن کاملConvexity Properties of the Quantum Rényi Divergences, with Applications to the Quantum Stein's Lemma
We show finite-size bounds on the deviation of the optimal type II error from its asymptotic value in the quantum hypothesis testing problem of Stein’s lemma with composite null-hypothesis. The proof is based on some simple properties of a new notion of quantum Rényi divergence, recently introduced in [Müller-Lennert, Dupuis, Szehr, Fehr and Tomamichel, J. Math. Phys. 54, 122203, (2013)], and [...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Quantum Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics *
The purpose of this work is to discuss recent progress in deriving the fundamental laws of thermodynamics (0, 1 and 2-law) from nonequilibrium quantum statistical mechanics. Basic thermodynamic notions are clarified and different reversible and irreversible thermodynamic processes are studied from the point of view of quantum statistical mechanics. Special emphasis is put on new adiabatic theor...
