We show that a recent definition of relative R'enyi entropy is monotone under completely positive, trace preserving maps. This proves a recent conjecture of M"uller-Lennert et al.
Itis well known that in quantum information quantum relative is monotonically decreasing under the completely positive and trace-preserving maps. For a new proposed sandwiched R\'enyi quantum relative, a map that is linear trace-preserving and whose Hilber-Schmidt adjoint map satisfies Schwarz inequality, monotonicity still holds. We give a new proof of monotonicity of sandwiched R\'enyi relative entropy for α∈[21,1). The proof is based on complex interplotation techniques, which already has been used to prove monotonicity under trace-preserving and positive map for α∈(1,∞).
