Abstract

We axiomatically characterize the Tsallis entropy of a finite quantum system.In addition, we derive a continuity property of Tsallis entropy.This gives a generalization of the Fannes' inequality.

A review of the mathematical properties of the Tsallis entropies

Shigeru Furuichi, Alexander M. Korsunsky

We review the mathematical properties of the generalized entropies, based on our previous papers. This review is an extended version of our article [9]. The Tsallis entropy defined for a quantum state is uniquely derived from three axioms. A generalized Fannes’ inequality is shown. The maximum entropy principle in Tsallis statistics are revisited as an application of the Tsallis relative entropy defined for nonnegative matrices in the framework of matrix analysis. A variational expression for Tsallis relative entropy is derived and some related inequalities are studied. Finally, an application to qunatum information theory is discussed.

A sharp continuity estimate for the von Neumann entropy

Koenraad M. R. Audenaert

We derive an inequality relating the entropy difference between two quantum states to their trace norm distance, sharpening a well-known inequality due to Fannes. In our inequality, equality can be attained for every prescribed value of the trace norm distance.

Uncertainty relations in terms of the Tsallis entropy

Grzegorz Andrzej Wilk, Z. Włodarczyk

Uncertainty relations emerging from the Tsallis entropy are derived and discussed. In particular we found a positively defined function that saturates the so-called entropic inequalities for entropies characterizing the physical states under consideration.

Upper continuity bounds on the relative q-entropy for q > 1

Alexey E. Rastegin

Generalized entropies and relative entropies are the subject of active research. Similar to the standard relative entropy, the relative q-entropy is generally unbounded for q > 1. Upper bounds on the quantum relative q-entropy in terms of norm distances between its arguments are obtained in finite-dimensional context. These bounds characterize a continuity property in the sense of Fannes.

Continuity inequalities for sandwiched Rényi and Tsallis conditional entropies with application to the channel entropy continuity

Anna Vershynina

For the sandwiched Rényi entropy the conditional entropy can be defined two ways: $\widetilde{H}^\downarrow_α(A|B)_ρ, \widetilde{H}^\uparrow_α(A|B)_ρ$. In the limiting case, $α=1$, both definitions consolidate into conditional entropy $H(A|B)=S(AB)-S(B)$. The continuity inequality for conditional entropy $H(A|B)$, called the Alicki-Fannes-Winter (AWF) inequality, shows that if the states are close in trace-distance, then the conditional entropies are also close. Having the AWF inequality for conditional entropy, we show that the channel entropy defined through the relative entropy is continuous with respect to the diamond-distance between channels. Inspired by this, similar continuity inequalities for the Rényi conditional entropy $\widetilde{H}^\uparrow_α$ were obtained in the work [A. Marwah and F. Dupuis, J. Math. Phys. 63, 052201 (2022)]. We provide continuity bounds for the sandwiched Rényi and Tsallis conditional entropies $\widetilde{H}^\downarrow_α(A|B)_ρ, \widetilde{T}^\downarrow_α(A|B)_ρ$ for states with the same marginal on the conditioning system. Similar to the previous bounds, our bound depends only on the dimension of the conditioning system. We apply this result to prove continuity of the channel entropy for Rényi and Tsallis channel entropies defined through the sandwiched Rényi and Tsallis relative entropies.

For the sandwiched Rényi entropy the conditional entropy can be defined two ways: H~α↓(A∣B)ρ,H~α↑(A∣B)ρ\widetilde{H}^\downarrow_α(A|B)_ρ, \widetilde{H}^\uparrow_α(A|B)_ρHα↓​(A∣B)ρ​,Hα↑​(A∣B)ρ​. In the limiting case, α=1α=1α=1, both definitions consolidate into conditional entropy H(A∣B)=S(AB)−S(B)H(A|B)=S(AB)-S(B)H(A∣B)=S(AB)−S(B).
