Petz-R\'enyi relative entropy in QFT from modular theory
read the original abstract
We consider the generalization of the Araki-Uhlmann formula for relative entropy to Petz-R\'enyi relative entropy. We compute this entropy for a free scalar field in the Minkowski wedge between the vacuum and a coherent state, as well as for the free chiral current in a thermal state. In contrast to the relative entropy which in these cases only depends on the sympletic form and thus reduces to the classical entropy of a wave packet, the Petz-R\'enyi relative entropy also depends on the symmetric part of the two-point function and is thus genuinely quantum. We also consider the relation with standard subspaces, where we define the R\'enyi entropy of a vector and show that it admits an upper bound given by the entropy of the vector.

Bounding relative entropy for non-unitary excitations in quantum field theory
Convexity of non-commutative L^p norms yields bounds on relative entropy for arbitrary excitations of faithful states in general von Neumann algebras, with uniform boundedness proven for single-particle states of the ...
