The entropy of quantum causal networks


Abstract in English

Quantum networks play a key role in many scenarios of quantum information theory. Here we consider the quantum causal networks in the manner of entropy. First we present a revised smooth max-relative entropy of quantum combs, then we present a lower and upper bound of a type II error of the hypothesis testing. Next we present a lower bound of the smooth max-relative entropy for the quantum combs with asymptotic equipartition. At last, we consider the score to quantify the performance of an operator. We present a quantity equaling to the smooth asymptotic version of the performance of a quantum positive operator.
