 Continuity bound for quantum conditional entropy (source code)

= Continuity bound for quantum conditional entropy

If $\varepsilon=\lVert\rho_{AB}-\sigma_{AB}\rVert_1/2$ and $d_A=\dim\mathcal H_A$, then
$$
|H(A|B)_\rho-H(A|B)_\sigma|
\leq2\varepsilon\log d_A+(1+\varepsilon)H\!\left(\frac{\varepsilon}{1+\varepsilon}\right).
$$
The proof couples the two states through their positive and negative differences, then combines <concavity of quantum conditional entropy> with the <entropy bound for a binary mixture>.
