Abstract

A new quantum f-divergence for trace class operators in Hilbert Spaces is introduced. It is shown that for normalised convex functions it is nonnegative. Some upper bounds are provided. Applications for some classes of convex functions of interest are also given.

Inequalities for Quantum f-Divergence of Trace Class Operators in Hilbert Spaces

Dragomir, Silvestru Sever

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 new class of entanglement measures

Oliver Rudolph

We introduce new entanglement measures on the set of density operators on tensor product Hilbert spaces. These measures are based on the greatest cross norm on the tensor product of the sets of trace class operators on Hilbert space. We show that they satisfy the basic requirements on entanglement measures discussed in the literature, including convexity, invariance under local unitary operations and nonincrease under local quantum operations and classical communication.

A new class of entanglement measures

Oliver Rudolph

Abstract We introduce new entanglement measures on the set of density operators on tensor product Hilbert spaces. These measures are based on the greatest cross norm on the tensor product of the sets of trace class operators on Hilbert space. We show that they satisfy all the basic requirements on entanglement measures discussed in the literature, including convexity, invariance under local unitary operations and non-increase under local quantum operations and classical communication. In the second part of this paper we discuss the uniqueness theorem for entanglement measures. We obtain a mathematically simple characterization of all functionals coinciding with the von Neumann reduced entropy on pure states based on the Khinchin-Faddeev axiomatization of Shannon entropy and give a physical interpretation of the axioms in terms of entanglement. We also discuss the uniqueness theorem in the operational approach and argue that the standard argument in favor of the uniqueness theorem for entanglement measures is not fully conclusive and that further axioms have to be added to the list of postulates. 1

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.
