We investigate bounds in the transmission of classical information through quantum systems. Our focus lies in the generalized Holevo theorem, which provides a single-letter Holevo-like inequality from arbitrary quantum distance measures. Through the introduction of the [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text]-Rényi relative entropies, which comprise known relevant quantities such as the Rényi relative entropy and the sandwiched Rényi relative entropy, we establish the Holevo–Rényi inequality. This result leads to a quantum bound for the [Formula: see text]-mutual information, suggesting new insights into communication channel performance and the fundamental limits for reliability functions in memoryless multi-letter communication channels.
