How to take Statevector for subsystem?
I want to calculate the 2nd Renyi entropy using the density matrix in Qiskit. To do this, I need to calculate the $Tr(\rho^2)$ for subsystem. The complete system consists of 12 qubits from which I ...

Understanding conditional $L_2$ distances
I see that conditional $L_2$ distances from uniform are defined in the following way:
$L_2(\rho_{AB}\vert \sigma_B)= \text{tr}\left(((\rho_{AB}- \mu_{A} \otimes \rho_{B}) (\mathbb{I}_A \otimes \...

Prove the additivity of the Renyi entropy: $H_{\beta}(p \times r) = H_{\beta}(p) + H_{\beta}(r)$
The Renyi entropy of order $\beta$, for a discrete probability distribution $p$ is given by
\begin{equation}
H_{\beta}(p) = \frac{1}{1 - \beta} ~\log \left( \sum_{i \in S} p(i)^{\beta} \right),
\end{...

Continuity of Renyi entropies - limiting cases
The Renyi entropies are defined as
$$S_{\alpha}(\rho)=\frac{1}{1-\alpha} \log \operatorname{Tr}\left(\rho^{\alpha}\right), \alpha \in(0,1) \cup(1, \infty)$$
It is claimed that this quantity is ...

How to take the limits of the sandwiched Renyi divergences?
The sandwiched Renyi divergence is defined as
$$\begin{equation}
\tilde{D}_{\alpha}(\rho \| \sigma):=\frac{1}{\alpha-1} \log \operatorname{tr}\left[\left(\sigma^{\frac{1-\alpha}{2 \alpha}} \rho \...
