- Abstract: We review the fundamental properties of the quantum relative entropy for
finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. In particular, we focus on several
inequalities that are related to the second law of thermodynamics, where the
positivity and the monotonicity of the quantum relative entropy play key roles;
these properties are directly applicable to derivations of the second law
(e.g., the Clausius inequality). Moreover, the positivity is closely related to
the quantum fluctuation theorem, while the monotonicity leads to a quantum
version of the Hatano-Sasa inequality for nonequilibrium steady states. Based
on the monotonicity, we also discuss the data processing inequality for the
quantum mutual information, which has a similar mathematical structure to that
of the second law. Moreover, we derive a generalized second law with quantum
feedback control. In addition, we review a proof of the monotonicity in line
with Petz.

We find a bound for the mean difference of an observable at two different quantum states.
When the spectrum of the observable is bounded, the sub-Gaussian property is used to link the bound with the sub-Gaussian norm of the observable.
We show the versatility of our results by their applications in problems like thermodynamic inference and speed limit.

Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same.
Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles.
We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.

I introduce the optimized quantum f-divergence as a related generalization of quantum relative entropy.
I prove that it satisfies the data processing inequality, and the method of proof relies upon the operator Jensen inequality.
One benefit of this approach is that there is now a single, unified approach for establishing the data processing inequality for the Petz--Renyi and sandwiched Renyi relative entropies.

A local version of the second law similar to the one used in relativistic fluid dynamics can be formulated with relative entropy or even relative entanglement entropy in a space-time region bounded by two light cones.
