A Family of Monotone Quantum Relative Entropies

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We study here the elementary properties of the relative entropy Hφ(A, B) = Tr[φ(A) - φ(B) - φ′(B)(A - B)] for φ a convex function and A, B bounded self-adjoint operators. In particular, we prove that this relative entropy is monotone if and only if φ′ is operator monotone. We use this to appropriately define Hφ(A, B) in infinite dimension.
