Quantum f-Divergences via Nussbaum-Szkola distributions with applications to gaussian states

ORAL

Abstract

We generalize the Nussbaum and Szkola distributions [Ann. Statist., vol. 37, no. 2, pp. 1040–1057, (2009)] to infinite dimensions, and we show that the quantum f-divergence of two quantum states on arbitrary dimensional Hilbert space is equal to the classical f-divergence of the corresponding Nussbaum-Szkola distributions. The method that we use for our derivation is the study of the spectral decomposition of the relative modular operator in a general setting. We give applications to gaussian states by studying a conjecture that was formulated by Seshadreeshan, Lami and Wilde [J. Math. Phys. 59, 072204 (2018)]. The talk is based on joint works with Tiju Cherian John.
