چکیده
We consider a two-parameter family of Rényi relative entropies Dα,z(ρ||σ) that are quantum generalisations of the classical Rényi divergence Dα(p||q). This family includes many known relative entropies (or divergences) such as the quantum relative entropy, the recently defined quantum Rényi divergences, as well as the quantum Rényi relative entropies. All its members satisfy the quantum generalizations of Rényi’s axioms for a divergence. We consider the range of the parameters α, z for which the data processing inequality holds. We also investigate a variety of limiting cases for the two parameters, obtaining explicit formulas for each one of them.

Rényi Divergence and Lp-affine surface area for convex bodies
We show that the fundamental objects of the Lp-Brunn-Minkowski theory, namely the Lp-affine surface areas for a convex body, are closely related to information theory: they are exponentials of Rényi divergences of the cone measures of a convex body and its polar. We give geometric interpretations for all Rényi divergences Dα, not just for the previously treated special case of relative entropy ...
متن کاملA duality relation connecting different quantum generalizations of the conditional Rényi entropy
Recently a new quantum generalization of the Rényi divergence and the corresponding conditional Rényi entropies was proposed. Here we report on a surprising relation between conditional Rényi entropies based on this new generalization and conditional Rényi entropies based on the quantum relative Rényi entropy that was used in previous literature. This generalizes the well-known duality relation...
متن کاملGlobal versus local optimality in feedback-controlled qubit purification: new insights from minimizing Rényi entropies
It was first shown by Jacobs, in 2003, that the process of qubit state purification by continuous measurement of one observable can be enhanced, on average, by unitary feedback control. Here, we quantify this by the reduction in any one of the family of Rényi entropies α S , with α < < ∞ 0 , at some terminal time, revealing the rich structure of stochastic quantum control even for this simple p...
متن کاملOn the Statistical Estimation of Rényi Entropies
Estimating entropies is important in many fields including statistical physics, machine learning and statistics. While the Shannon logarithmic entropy is the most fundamental, other Rényi entropies are also of importance. In this paper, we derive a bias corrected estimator for a subset of Rényi entropies. The advantage of the estimator is demonstrated via theoretical and experimental considerat...
متن کاملMinimization Problems Based on a Parametric Family of Relative Entropies I: Forward Projection
Minimization problems with respect to a one-parameter family of generalized relative entropies are studied. These relative entropies, which we term relative α-entropies (denoted Iα), arise as redundancies under mismatched compression when cumulants of compressed lengths are considered instead of expected compressed lengths. These parametric relative entropies are a generalization of the usual r...
