Strong converse Exponents of Partially Smoothed Information Measures

Partially smoothed information measures are fundamental tools in one-shot quantum information theory. In this work, we determine the exact strong converse exponents of these measures for both pure quantum states and classical states. Notably, we find that the strong converse exponents based on trace distance takes different forms between pure and classical states, indicating that they are not uniform across all quantum states. Leveraging these findings, we derive the strong converse exponents for quantum data compression, intrinsic randomness extraction, and classical state splitting. A key technical step in our analysis is the determination of the strong converse exponent for classical privacy amplification, which is of independent interest.
