Abstract

We propose an extension of the sandwiched Rényi relative -entropy to normal positive functionals on arbitrary von Neumann algebras, for the values . For this, we use Kosaki's definition of noncommutative -spaces with respect to a state. We show that these extensions coincide with the previously defined Araki-Masuda divergences [M. Berta et al., Annales Henri Poincaré, 19:1843--1867, 2018] and prove some of their properties, in particular the data processing inequality with respect to positive normal unital maps. As a consequence, we obtain monotonicity of the Araki relative entropy with respect to such maps, extending the results of [A. Müller-Hermes and D. Reeb. Annales Henri Poincaré,18:1777--1788, 2017] to arbitrary von Neumann algebras. It is also shown that equality in data processing inequality characterizes sufficiency (reversibility) of quantum channels.
