• Abstract: The entropic uncertainty principle in the form proven by Maassen and Uffink yields a fundamental inequality that is prominently used in many places all over the field of quantum information theory. In this work, we provide a family of versatile generalizations of this relation. Our proof methods build on a deep connection between entropic uncertainties and interpolation inequalities for the doubly stochastic map that links probability distributions in two measurements bases. In contrast to the original relation, our generalization also incorporates the von Neumann entropy of the underlying quantum state. These results can be directly used to bound the extractable randomness of a source independent QRNG in the presence of fully quantum attacks, to certify entanglement between trusted parties, or to bound the entanglement of a system with an untrusted environment.

  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.

We then further bound these measures from above by some that are efficiently computable by means of semi-definite programming.

• 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.
