Can I read Telescopic Relative Entropy on EtoBox?

Telescopic Relative Entropy by Audenaert, Koenraad M. R. is a scholarly article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Telescopic Relative Entropy about?

We introduce the telescopic relative entropy (TRE), which is a new regularisation of the relative entropy related to smoothing, to overcome the problem that the relative entropy between pure states is either zero or infinity and therefore useless as a distance measure in this case. We study basic properties of this quantity, and find interesting relationships between the TRE and the trace norm distance. We then exploit the same techniques to obtain a new and shorter proof of a lower bound on the relative Renyi entropies in terms of the trace norm distance, $\trace\rho^{1-p}\sigma^p \ge 1-(||\rho-\sigma||_1)/2$.
