Abstract

Some inequalities for quantum f-divergence of trace class operators in Hilbert spaces are obtained. It is shown that for normalised convex functions it is nonnegative. Some upper bounds for quantum f-divergence in terms of variational and chi-distance are provided. Applications for some classes of divergence measures such as Umegaki and Tsallis relative entropies are also given.

A Collection of Pinsker-type Inequalities for Quantum Divergences

Kläre Wienecke, Gereon Koßmann, René Schwonnek

Pinsker's inequality sets a lower bound on the Umegaki divergence of two quantum states in terms of their trace distance. In this work, we formulate corresponding estimates for a variety of quantum and classical divergences including $f$-divergences like Hellinger and $χ^2$-divergences as well as Rényi divergences and special cases thereof like the Umegaki divergence, collision divergence, max divergence. We further provide a strategy on how to adapt these bounds to smoothed divergences.

Upper continuity bound on the quantum quasi-relative entropy

Anna Vershynina

We provide an upper bound on the quasi-relative entropy in terms of the trace distance. The bound is derived for any operator monotone decreasing function and either mixed qubit or classical states. Moreover, we derive an upper bound for the Umegaki and Tsallis relative entropies in the case of any finite-dimensional states. The bound for the relative entropy improves the known bounds for some states in any dimensions larger than four. The bound for the Tsallis entropy improves the known bounds.

Monotonicity of f-divergences: A review with new results

Fumio Hiai, Milán Mosonyi, Dėnes Petz

Quantum f-divergences are a quantum generalization of the classical notion of f-divergences, and are a special case of Petz' quasi-entropies. Many well known distinguishability measures of quantum states are given by, or derived from, f-divergences; special examples include the quantum relative entropy, the Renyi relative entropies, and the Chernoff and Hoeffding measures. Here we show that the quantum f-divergences are monotonic under the dual of Schwarz maps whenever the defining function is operator convex. This extends and unifies all previously known monotonicity results. We also analyze the case where the monotonicity inequality holds with equality, and extend Petz' reversibility theorem for a large class of f-divergences and other distinguishability measures. We apply our findings to the problem of quantum error correction, and show that if a stochastic map preserves the pairwise distinguishability on a set of states, as measured by a suitable f-divergence, then its action can be reversed on that set by another stochastic map that can be constructed from the original one in a canonical way. We also provide an integral representation for operator convex functions on the positive half-line, which is the main ingredient in extending previously known results on the monotonicity inequality and the case of equality. We also consider some special cases where the convexity of f is sufficient for the monotonicity, and obtain the inverse Holder inequality for operators as an application. The presentation is completely self-contained and requires only standard knowledge of matrix analysis.
