• Abstract: Given two orthornormal bases A and B, the basic form of the entropic uncertainty principle is stated in terms of the sum of the Shannon entropies of the probabilities of measuring A and B onto a given quantum state. State independent lower bounds for this sum encapsulate the degree of incompatibility of the observables diagonal in the A and B bases, and are usually derived by extracting as much information as possible from the unitary operator U connecting the two bases. Here we show a strategy to derive sequences of lower bounds based on alternating sequences of measurements onto A and B. The problem can be mapped into the multiple application of bistochastic processes that can be described by the powers of the unistochastic matrices directly derivable from U. By means of several examples we study the applicability of the method. The results obtained show that the strategy can allow for an advantage both in the pure state and in the mixed state scenario. The sequence of lower bounds is obtained with resources which are polynomial in the dimension of the underlying Hilbert space, and it is thus suitable for studying high dimensional cases.

We prove various results on the typicality of entanglement as measured by the R'enyi-2 entropy. Our main make use of a symmetry property obeyed by the average and the variance of the entropy that dramatically simplifies the averaging over unitaries.

  We prove the monotonicity of quantum relative entropy under trace-preserving positive linear maps. For a simple application of such monotonicities, we consider any divergence' that is non-increasing under quantum measurements. An argument due to Hiai, Ohya, and Tsukada is used to show that the infimum of such a divergence' on pairs of quantum states with prescribed trace distance is the same as the corresponding infimum on pairs of binary classical states.

• Asymptotic relative submajorization of multiple-state boxes [0.0]
  Pairs of states are the basic objects in the resource theory of asymmetric distinguishability (Wang and Wilde, 2019), where free operations are arbitrary quantum channels that are applied to both states. We consider boxes of a fixed finite number of states and study an extension of the relative submajorization preorder to such objects. This preorder characterizes error probabilities in the case of testing a composite null hypothesis against a simple alternative hypothesis, as well as certain error probabilities in state discrimination.

We also show that DNTs emerge naturally from a particular instance of a joint measurability problem, remarking its relevance in general operator theory.
