• Abstract: In the estimation theory context, we generalize the notion of Shannon's entropy power to the R\'{e}nyi-entropy setting. This not only allows to find new estimation inequalities, such as the R\'{e}nyi-entropy based De Bruijn identity, isoperimetric inequality or Stam inequality, but it also provides a convenient technical framework for the derivation of a one-parameter family of R\'{e}nyi-entropy-power-based quantum-mechanical uncertainty relations. To put more flesh on the bones, we use the R\'{e}nyi entropy power obtained to show how the information probability distribution associated with a quantum state can be reconstructed in a process that is akin to quantum-state tomography. We illustrate the inner workings of this with the so-called "cat states", which are of fundamental interest and practical use in schemes such as quantum metrology. Salient issues, including the extension of the notion of entropy power to Tsallis entropy and ensuing implications in estimation theory are also briefly discussed.

• Deriving the Landauer Principle From the Quantum Shannon Entropy [0.0]
  We derive an expression for the equilibrium probability distribution of a quantum state in contact with a noisy thermal environment. We show that the free energy required to erase or reset a qubit depends sensitively on both the fidelity of the target state and on the physical properties of the environment.

  A fundamental question in quantum information theory is whether an analogous second law can be formulated to characterize the convertibility of resources for quantum information processing by a single function. In 2008, a promising formulation was proposed, linking resource convertibility to the optimal performance of a variant of the quantum version of hypothesis testing. In 2023, a logical gap was found in the original proof of this lemma, casting doubt on the possibility of such a formulation of the second law.

• Stochastic approximate state conversion for entanglement and general quantum resource theories [41.94295877935867]
  An important problem in any quantum resource theory is to determine how quantum states can be converted into each other. Very few results have been presented on the intermediate regime between probabilistic and approximate transformations. We show that these bounds imply an upper bound on the rates for various classes of states under probabilistic transformations. We also show that the deterministic version of the single copy bounds can be applied for drawing limitations on the manipulation of quantum channels.

We introduce a fermionic version of the source coding theorem showing that, as in the quantum case, the von Neumann entropy is the minimal rate for which a fermionic compression scheme exists.

• Catalytic Transformations of Pure Entangled States [62.997667081978825]
  Entanglement entropy is the von Neumann entropy of quantum entanglement of pure states. The relation between entanglement entropy and entanglement distillation has been known only for the setting, and the meaning of entanglement entropy in the single-copy regime has so far remained open. Our results imply that entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of entanglement available in a bipartite pure state to be used for quantum information processing, giving results an operational meaning also in entangled single-copy setup.

• Estimating the Shannon entropy and (un)certainty relations for design-structured POVMs [0.0]
  The main question is how to convert the imposed restrictions into two-sided estimates on the Shannon entropy. We propose a family of senses for estimating the Shannon entropy from below. It is shown that the derived estimates are applicable in quantum tomography and detecting steerability of quantum states.
