Zusammenfassung: | In this work, we prove uniform continuity bounds for entropic quantities
related to the sandwiched R\'enyi divergences such as the sandwiched R\'enyi
conditional entropy. We follow three different approaches: The first one is the
"almost additive approach", which exploits the sub-/ superadditivity and joint
concavity/ convexity of the exponential of the divergence. In our second
approach, termed the "operator space approach", we express the entropic
measures as norms and utilize their properties for establishing the bounds.
These norms draw inspiration from interpolation space norms. We not only
demonstrate the norm properties solely relying on matrix analysis tools but
also extend their applicability to a context that holds relevance in resource
theories. By this, we extend the strategies of Marwah and Dupuis as well as
Beigi and Goodarzi employed in the sandwiched R\'enyi conditional entropy
context. Finally, we merge the approaches into a mixed approach that has some
advantageous properties and then discuss in which regimes each bound performs
best. Our results improve over the previous best continuity bounds or sometimes
even give the first continuity bounds available. In a separate contribution, we
use the ALAFF method, developed in a previous article by some of the authors,
to study the stability of approximate quantum Markov chains. |
