Transformations on density operators preserving generalised entropy of a convex combination. (English) Zbl 1393.15037
Summary: We aim to characterise those transformations on the set of density operators (which are the mathematical representatives of the states in quantum information theory) that preserve a so-called generalised entropy of one fixed convex combination of operators. The characterisation strengthens a recent result of M. Karder and T. Petek [Linear Algebra Appl. 532, 86–98 (2017; Zbl 1370.15028)] where the preservation of the same quantity was assumed for all convex combinations.
