The concept of classical $f$-divergences gives a unified framework to construct and study measures of dissimilarity of probability distributions; special cases include the relative entropy and the Rényi divergences. Various quantum versions of this concept, and more narrowly, the concept of Rényi divergences, have been introduced in the literature with applications in quantum information theory; most notably Petz' quasi-entropies (standard $f$-divergences), Matsumoto's maximal $f$-divergences, measured $f$-divergences, and sandwiched and $α$-$z$-Rényi divergences.
In this paper we give a systematic overview of the various concepts of quantum $f$-divergences with a main focus on their monotonicity under quantum operations, and the implications of the preservation of a quantum $f$-divergence by a quantum operation. In particular, we compare the standard and the maximal $f$-divergences regarding their ability to detect the reversibility of quantum operations. We also show that these two quantum $f$-divergences are strictly different for non-commuting operators unless $f$ is a polynomial, and obtain some analogous partial results for the relation between the measured and the standard $f$-divergences.
We also study the monotonicity of the $α$-$z$-Rényi divergences under the special class of bistochastic maps that leave one of the arguments of the Rényi divergence invariant, and determine domains of the parameters $α,z$ where monotonicity holds, and where the preservation of the $α$-$z$-Rényi divergence implies the reversibility of the quantum operation.

The optimized quantum $f$-divergences form a family of distinguishability measures that includes the quantum relative entropy and the sandwiched Rényi relative quasi-entropy as special cases. In this paper, we establish physically meaningful refinements of the data-processing inequality for the optimized $f$-divergence. In particular, the refinements state that the absolute difference between the optimized $f$-divergence and its channel-processed version is an upper bound on how well one can recover a quantum state acted upon by a quantum channel, whenever the recovery channel is taken to be a…
There are different inequivalent ways to define the Rényi capacity of a channel for a fixed input distribution $P$. In a 1995 paper Csiszár has shown that for classical discrete memoryless channels there is a distinguished such quantity that has an operational interpretation as a generalized cutoff rate for constant composition channel coding. We show that the analogous notion of Rényi capacity, defined in terms of the sandwiched quantum Rényi divergences, has the same operational interpretation in the strong converse problem of classical-quantum channel coding. Denoting the constant compositi…
