For a tripartite <density operator>, the quantum conditional mutual information is $I(A:C|B)=S(AB)+S(BC)-S(B)-S(ABC)$. It is nonnegative by <Strong subadditivity of Von Neumann entropy>. It measures the <coherent information> lost when a channel environment is discarded after an isometric dilation.
