Relative entropy of classically flagged states
ID: relative-entropy-of-classically-flagged-states
For common classical weights, the matrix logarithm on each positive-weight block is on its support. The two logarithms of cancel in the quantum relative entropy, giving the displayed identity. Zero-weight blocks are omitted, including if their unweighted relative entropy is infinite. If a positive-weight block violates support inclusion, both sides are infinite. Applying the data-processing inequality for quantum relative entropy to the partial trace over the flag gives joint convexity of quantum relative entropy.
