• Abstract: A Bayesian functorial characterization of the classical relative entropy (KL divergence) of finite probabilities was recently obtained by Baez and Fritz. This was then generalized to standard Borel spaces by Gagn\'e and Panangaden. Here, we provide preliminary calculations suggesting that the finite-dimensional quantum (Umegaki) relative entropy might be characterized in a similar way. Namely, we explicitly prove that it defines an affine functor in the special case where the relative entropy is finite. A recent non-commutative disintegration theorem provides a key ingredient in this proof.

  Renowned Birkhoff-von Neumann theorem identifies source of randomness to be the application of reversible operations on the system under study. Here, we extend this investigation beyond quantum mechanics to a broader class of operational theories described within the framework of general probabilistic theories. We show that Birkhoff-violation in GPTs can lead to consequences that are atypical to quantum theory.

  We introduce a method to prove continuity bounds for quantities derived from different quantum relative entropies. For the Umegaki relative entropy, we mostly recover known almost optimal bounds, whereas, for the Belavkin-Staszewski relative entropy, our bounds are new.

• Integral formula for quantum relative entropy implies data processing inequality [0.0]
  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.

  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.

  We prove that joint measurability arises as a mathematical feature of DNTs in this context, needed to establish a characterisation similar to Birkhoff-von Neumann's. We also show that DNTs emerge naturally from a particular instance of a joint measurability problem, remarking its relevance in general operator theory.
