%0 Journal Article %T Relative entropy in quantum information theory %A Benjamin Schumacher %A Michael D. Westmoreland %J Physics %D 2000 %I arXiv %X We review the properties of the quantum relative entropy function and discuss its application to problems of classical and quantum information transfer and to quantum data compression. We then outline further uses of relative entropy to quantify quantum entanglement and analyze its manipulation. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0004045v1
