If $\Vert {\rho }_n^{\prime }-{\rho }^{\otimes n}{\Vert }_1\to 0$, thenIn finite dimension this follows from multipartite superadditivity of quantum relative entropy, additivity of quantum relative entropy, contraction of trace distance under partial trace, and uniform continuity on the compact state space.

First prove monotonicity for a partial trace. Let $r=\dim {\mathcal{H}}_B$ and define the Heisenberg-Weyl twirling channelThe supplied identity on individual operators extends to bipartite operators by expanding them in a tensor-product basis. The joint convexity of quantum relative entropy and its unitary invariance implyThe additivity of quantum relative entropy makes the left side $D({\rho }_A\Vert {\sigma }_A)$, proving the partial-trace case.

For a general deterministic quantum operation, meaning a quantum channel, use a Stinespring dilation $\Lambda (X)={\mathrm{Tr}}_E(VX{V}^{†})$ with $V^{†}V=I$. An isometric embedding preserves quantum relative entropy, because restricting the output to the common image of $V$ preserves the eigenvalues and trace formula. Applying the partial-trace result givesThe other properties used are unitary invariance and invariance under adjoining an identical ancillary state; both follow directly from the relative-entropy trace formula. This is the Lindblad-Uhlmann monotonicity theorem. The proof applies to deterministic channels; normalized postselection is not such a linear channel.

The Umegaki relative entropy iswhen the support of $\rho$ is contained in that of $\sigma$, and $+\infty$ otherwise. Its additivity of quantum relative entropy isits superadditivity of quantum relative entropy isand its data-processing inequality for quantum relative entropy is $D(T(\rho )\Vert T(\sigma ))\le D(\rho \Vert \sigma )$ for every quantum channel $T$.

Additivity follows from the logarithm of a tensor product,and the analogous identity for ${\sigma }_A\otimes {\sigma }_B$. For superadditivity, subtract the two marginal relative entropies from the joint one. The reference-state terms cancel, leavingThis is the nonnegativity of quantum mutual information, equivalently Subadditivity of Von Neumann entropy.
