Rényi Entropy Additivity Fails Outside Midrange

Rényi Entropy Additivity Fails Outside Midrange

Finite-dimensional projection-induced quantum channels violate minimum output p-Rényi entropy additivity for p>3/4 and 0≤p<1/4, leaving [1/4, 3/4] unresolved.

TL;DR — The paper proves finite-dimensional projection-induced quantum-channel counterexamples to minimum output p-Rényi entropy additivity for p>3/4 and 0≤p<1/4. It reduces the unresolved part of 0<p<1 to [1/4, 3/4] and improves a von Neumann entropy output-dimension threshold without stating the numerical threshold in the abstract.

Core result

The paper addresses additivity of minimum output entropies, which the abstract calls a central problem in quantum information theory.

Its main result is an existence theorem: for every Rényi order p with p>3/4 or 0≤p<1/4, there are finite-dimensional projection-induced quantum channels for which additivity of minimum output p-Rényi entropy fails.

The result narrows the unresolved part of the subunit interval 0<p<1 to [1/4, 3/4].
