• Abstract: For the sandwiched Rényi entropy the conditional entropy can be defined two ways: $\widetilde{H}^\downarrow_α(A|B)_ρ, \widetilde{H}^\uparrow_α(A|B)_ρ$. In the limiting case, $α=1$, both definitions consolidate into conditional entropy $H(A|B)=S(AB)-S(B)$. The continuity inequality for conditional entropy $H(A|B)$, called the Alicki-Fannes-Winter (AWF) inequality, shows that if the states are close in trace-distance, then the conditional entropies are also close. Having the AWF inequality for conditional entropy, we show that the channel entropy defined through the relative entropy is continuous with respect to the diamond-distance between channels. Inspired by this, similar continuity inequalities for the Rényi conditional entropy $\widetilde{H}^\uparrow_α$ were obtained in the work [A. Marwah and F. Dupuis, J. Math. Phys. 63, 052201 (2022)]. We provide continuity bounds for the sandwiched Rényi and Tsallis conditional entropies $\widetilde{H}^\downarrow_α(A|B)_ρ, \widetilde{T}^\downarrow_α(A|B)_ρ$ for states with the same marginal on the conditioning system. Similar to the previous bounds, our bound depends only on the dimension of the conditioning system. We apply this result to prove continuity of the channel entropy for Rényi and Tsallis channel entropies defined through the sandwiched Rényi and Tsallis relative entropies.

  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 prove a simple entropic triangle inequality, which allows us to bound the smooth min-entropy of a state in terms of the R'enyi entropy of an arbitrary auxiliary state. Using this triangle inequality, we create lower bounds for the smooth min-entropy of a state in terms of the entropies of its approximation chain in various scenarios.

  We calculate the entropy in disjointed intervals $A = cup_i A_i$ under a uniform dilation $lambda A$ in the XY model. We find that in the disjointed intervals, two FSEs, termed as extrinsic FSE and intrinsic FSE, are required to fully account for the FSE of the entropy. Our results provide some incisive insight into the entanglement entropy in the many-body systems.

  A structure composed of two parallel homogeneous layers is studied in the limit as their widths $l_j$ and $l_j$, and the distance between them $r$ shrinks to zero simultaneously. The existence of non-trivial bound states is proven in the squeezing limit, including the particular example of the squeezed potential in the form of the derivative of Dirac's delta function. The scenario how a single bound state survives in the squeezed system from a finite number of bound states in the finite system is described in detail.
