چکیده
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 the fundamental properties of a relative entropy, namely monotonicity under completely positive, trace preserving maps (quantum operations) was shown only in a limited range of parameters and conjectured for a larger range. Our goal here is to prove this conjecture. More precisely, the definition of the quantum Rényi divergence [12] or sandwiched Rényi entropy [15] is

A novel method for correlation analysis using scale-dependent Rényi entropies is described. The method involves calculating the entropy of a data distribution as an explicit function of the scale of a d-dimensional partition of d-cubes, which is dithered to remove bias. Analytic expressions for dithered scale-local entropy and dimension for a uniform random point set are derived and compared to...

The canonical correlation or Kubo-Mori scalar product on the state space of a finite quantum system is a natural generalization of the classical Fisher metric. This metric is induced by the von Neumann entropy or the relative entropy of the quantum mechanical states. An important conjecture of Petz that the scalar curvature of the state space with Kubo-Mori scalar product as Riemannian metric i...

We consider relative entropy in Field Theory as a well defined (non-divergent) quantity of interest. We establish a monotonicity property with respect to the couplings in the theory. As a consequence, the relative entropy in a field theory with a hierarchy of renormalization group fixed points ranks the fixed points in decreasing order of criticality. We argue from a generalized H theorem that ...
