• Abstract: The mutual information is a measure of classical and quantum correlations of great interest in quantum information. It is also relevant in quantum many-body physics, by virtue of satisfying an area law for thermal states and bounding all correlation functions. However, calculating it exactly or approximately is often challenging in practice. Here, we consider alternative definitions based on R\'enyi divergences. Their main advantage over their von Neumann counterpart is that they can be expressed as a variational problem whose cost function can be efficiently evaluated for families of states like matrix product operators while preserving all desirable properties of a measure of correlations. In particular, we show that they obey a thermal area law in great generality, and that they upper bound all correlation functions. We also investigate their behavior on certain tensor network states and on classical thermal distributions.

  Distributed source simulation is the task where two (or more) parties share some randomness correlated and use local communication to convert this into some target correlation. We do this by introducing one-shot operational quantities and correlation measures that characterize them. In doing so, we consider technical points in one-shot network information theory and generalize the support lemma to the classical-quantum setting.

  We show that in a network satisfying a certain condition, the covariance matrix of any feasible correlation can be decomposed as a summation of positive semidefinite matrices each of whose terms corresponds to a source in the network. Our result is universal in the sense that it holds in any physical theory of correlation in networks, including the classical, quantum and all generalized probabilistic theories.

• Multipartite Optimized Correlation Measures and Holography [8.594140167290098]
  We focus on optimized correlation measures, linear combinations of entropies minimized over all possible purifications of a state that satisfy monotonicity conditions. We present a procedure to derive such quantities, and construct a menagerie of symmetric optimized correlation measures on three parties. Some correlation measures vanish only on product states, and thus quantify both classical and quantum correlations. We then use a procedure motivated by the surface-state correspondence to construct holographic duals for the correlation measures as linear combinations of bulk surfaces.
