Conditions for Large-Sample Majorization of Pairs of Flat States in Terms of $α$-$z$ Relative Entropies

Abstract: In this work, we offer the first operational interpretation of the $\alpha$-$z$ relative entropies, which were introduced by Jak\v{s}i\'{c} {\it et al.} \cite{Jaksic2012} and Audenaert and Datta \cite{Audenaert_Datta_2015}, where the $\alpha$ and $z$ parameters are truly independent from each other. Namely, we show that these relative entropies appear in the conditions for large-sample or catalytic relative majorization of pairs of flat states and certain generalizations of them. Additionally, the optimal rate of converting one such pair into another may be formulated in terms of the $\alpha$-$z$ relative entropies.
