We show that the generalization of the relative entropy of a resource from states to channels is not unique, and there are at least six such generalizations. We then show that two of these generalizations are asymptotically continuous, satisfy a version of the asymptotic equipartition property, and their regularizations appear in the power exponent of channel versions of the quantum Stein's Lemma. To obtain our results, we use a new type of "smoothing" that can be applied to functions of channels (with no state analog). We call it "liberal smoothing" as it allows for more spread in the optimization. Along the way, we show that the diamond norm can be expressed as a D_max distance to the set of quantum channels, and prove a variety of properties of all six generalizations of the relative entropy of a resource.

  1. Cloning Quantum Channels

    quant-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper unifies state and channel cloning, proves that a channel family can super-replicate only when a certain generator β(x) is nonzero, and exhibits noisy phase gates as the first non-unitary examples.

  2. Maximum channel entropy principle and microcanonical channels

    quant-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A maximum-entropy principle for quantum channels yields thermal channels with exponential form, analogous to thermal states.

  3. Thermalization with partial information

    quant-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A maximum channel entropy principle, backed by a microcanonical-style derivation, identifies the canonical noisy channel that models thermalization under partial information.
