• Abstract: Relative entropy serves as a cornerstone concept in quantum information theory. In this work, we study relative entropy of random states from major generic state models of Hilbert-Schmidt and Bures-Hall ensembles. In particular, we derive exact yet explicit formulas of average relative entropy of two independent states of arbitrary dimensions from the same ensemble as well as from two different ensembles. One ingredient in obtaining the results is the observed factorization of ensemble averages after evaluating the required unitary integral. The derived exact formula in the case of Hilbert-Schmidt ensemble complements the work by Kudler-Flam (2021 Phys Rev Lett 126 171603), where the corresponding asymptotic formula for states of equal dimensions was obtained based on the replica method.

  We study entanglement within a set of squeezed modes that have been evolved by a random linear optical unitary. We prove various results on the typicality of entanglement as measured by the R'enyi-2 entropy. Our main make use of a symmetry property obeyed by the average and the variance of the entropy that dramatically simplifies the averaging over unitaries.

• 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.
