• Title: Attainability and lower semi-continuity of the relative entropy of entanglement, and variations on the theme
• Authors: Ludovico Lami and Maksim E. Shirokov
• Abstract summary: The relative entropy of entanglement $E_Rite is defined as the distance of a multi-part quantum entanglement from the set of separable states as measured by the quantum relative entropy. We show that this state is always achieved, i.e. any state admits a closest separable state, even in dimensions; also, $E_Rite is everywhere lower semi-negative $lambda_$quasi-probability distribution.

• Abstract: The relative entropy of entanglement $E_R$ is defined as the distance of a multi-partite quantum state from the set of separable states as measured by the quantum relative entropy. We show that this optimisation is always achieved, i.e. any state admits a closest separable state, even in infinite dimensions; also, $E_R$ is everywhere lower semi-continuous. We use this to derive a dual variational expression for $E_R$ in terms of an external supremum instead of infimum. These results, which seem to have gone unnoticed so far, hold not only for the relative entropy of entanglement and its multi-partite generalisations, but also for many other similar resource quantifiers, such as the relative entropy of non-Gaussianity, of non-classicality, of Wigner negativity $\unicode{8212}$ more generally, all relative entropy distances from the sets of states with non-negative $\lambda$-quasi-probability distribution. The crucial hypothesis underpinning all these applications is the weak*-closedness of the cone generated by free states, and for this reason the techniques we develop involve a bouquet of classical results from functional analysis. We complement our analysis by giving explicit and asymptotically tight continuity estimates for $E_R$ and closely related quantities in the presence of an energy constraint.

  We show that Frenkel's integral representation of the quantum relative entropy provides a natural framework to derive continuity bounds for quantum information measures. We obtain a number of results: (1) a tight continuity relation for the conditional entropy in the case where the two states have equal marginals on the conditioning system, resolving a conjecture by Wilde in this special case; (2) a stronger version of the Fannes-Audenaert inequality on quantum entropy; and (3) better estimates on the quantum capacity of approximately degradable channels.

• 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.

  In this work we show that the Longo's canonical entanglement entropy is finite in any local QFT verifying a modular $p$-nuclearity condition. As application, in $1+1$-dimensional integrable models with factorizing S-matrices we study the behavior of the canonical entanglement entropy as the distance between two causally disjoint wedges diverges.
