We derive the monotonicity of the quantum relative entropy by an elementary operational argument based on Stein's lemma in quantum hypothesis testing. For the latter we present an elementary and short proof that requires the law of large numbers only. Joint convexity of the quantum relative entropy is proven too, resulting in a self-contained elementary version of Tropp's approach to Lieb's concavity theorem, according to which the map tr(exp(h+log a)) is concave in a on positive operators for self-adjoint h.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Distributed Quantum Hypothesis Testing under Zero-rate Communication Constraints

    quant-ph 2024-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Derives single-letter Stein exponent for distributed quantum binary hypothesis testing under zero-rate communication when the alternative state is a product of marginals, with multi-letter expressions for the general case.
