• Abstract: We present a formula for the relative entropy S(rho||sigma) of two n mode gaussian states rho, sigma in the boson Fock space. It is shown that the relative entropy has a classical and a quantum part: The classical part consists of a weighted linear combination of relative Shannon entropies of n pairs of Bernouli trials arising from the thermal state composition of the gaussian states rho and sigma. The quantum part has a sum of n terms, that are functions of the annihilation means and the covariance matrices of 1-mode marginals of the gaussian state $\rho'$, which is equivalent to \rho under a disentangling unitary gaussian symmetry operation of the state $\sigma$. A generalized formula for the Petz-Renyi relative entropy S_alpha(rho||sigma) for gaussian states \rho, \sigma is also presented. Furthermore it is shown that the Petz-Renyi relative entropy converges to the limit S(rho||sigma) as alpha increases to 1.

  We study entanglement within a set of squeezed modes that have been evolved by a random linear optical unitary. 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.

  Relative entropy is investigated in several cases in quantum field theories. We derive a high energy bound on the relative entropy using known bounds on the elastic differential cross-sections in massive QFTs. Definite sign properties are found for the relative entropy which are over and above the usual positivity of relative entropy in certain cases.
