• Title: Quantum R\'enyi divergences and the strong converse exponent of state discrimination in operator algebras
• Authors: Fumio Hiai and Mil\'an Mosonyi
• Abstract summary: The sandwiched R'enyi divergences of two finite-dimensional quantum states play a distinguished role among the many quantum versions of R'enyi divergences. We show the same for the sandwiched R'enyi divergences of two normal states on an injective von Neumann algebra. We also initiate the study of the sandwiched R'enyi divergences of pairs of states on a $C*$-algebra.

• Abstract: The sandwiched R\'enyi $\alpha$-divergences of two finite-dimensional quantum states play a distinguished role among the many quantum versions of R\'enyi divergences as the tight quantifiers of the trade-off between the two error probabilities in the strong converse domain of state discrimination. In this paper we show the same for the sandwiched R\'enyi divergences of two normal states on an injective von Neumann algebra, thereby establishing the operational significance of these quantities. Moreover, we show that in this setting, again similarly to the finite-dimensional case, the sandwiched R\'enyi divergences coincide with the regularized measured R\'enyi divergences, another distinctive feature of the former quantities. Our main tool is an approximation theorem (martingale convergence) for the sandwiched R\'enyi divergences, which may be used for the extension of various further results from the finite-dimensional to the von Neumann algebra setting. We also initiate the study of the sandwiched R\'enyi divergences of pairs of states on a $C^*$-algebra, and show that the above operational interpretation, as well as the equality to the regularized measured R\'enyi divergence, holds more generally for pairs of states on a nuclear $C^*$-algebra.

  We introduce Cauchy-Schwarz divergence to the problem of unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) The CS divergence offers a theoretically tighter generalization error bound than the popular Kullback-Leibler divergence. We show how the CS divergence can be conveniently used in both distance metric- or adversarial training-based UDA frameworks.

  Smooth Csisz'ar $f$-divergences can be expressed as integrals over so-called hockey stick divergences.

We derive various inequalities, including new reverse Pinsker inequalities with applications in differential privacy.

• Function-space regularized R\'enyi divergences [6.221019624345409]
  We propose a new family of regularized R'enyi divergences parametrized by a variational function space. We prove several properties of these new divergences, showing that they interpolate between the classical R'enyi divergences and IPMs. We show that the proposed regularized R'enyi divergences inherit features from IPMs such as the ability to compare distributions that are not absolutely continuous.

Specifically, we consider (a) smoothing of the max-relative entropy, (b) quantum privacy amplification, and (c) quantum information decoupling. Results are given in terms of the sandwiched R'enyi divergence of order $alphain(frac12,1)$, and its induced quantum R'enyi conditional entropy and quantum R'enyi mutual information

• Monotonic multi-state quantum $f$-divergences [0.0]
  We write down a class of multi-state quantum $f$-divergences and prove that they satisfy the data processing inequality. For two states, this class includes the $(alpha,z)$-R'enyi divergences, the $f$-divergences of Petz, and the measures in citematsumoto2015new as special cases. We conjecture that these multi-state R'enyi divergences have operational interpretations in terms of the optimal error probabilities in asymmetric multi-state quantum state discrimination.

• Sequential Estimation of Convex Divergences using Reverse Submartingales and Exchangeable Filtrations [31.088836418378534]
  We present a unified technique for sequential estimation of convex divergences between distributions. The technical underpinnings of our approach lie in the observation that empirical convex divergences are (partially ordered) reverse submartingales. These techniques appear to be powerful additions to the existing literature on both confidence sequences and convex divergences.

  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.
