Existence of a measurement realizing finite quantum relative entropy

About 14 years old · traced to

Let ω1\omega_1 and ω2\omega_2 be states, let S(ω1\Vertomega2)S(\omega_1\Vertomega_2) denote their quantum relative entropy, and let M(ω1\precomega2)\mathrm{M}(\omega_1\precomega_2) be the set of measurement schemes used to obtain the corresponding central measures. Existence conjecture. If

S(ω1\Vertomega2)<∞,S(\omega_1\Vertomega_2)<\infty,

then

M(ω1\precomega2)≠∅.\mathrm{M}(\omega_1\precomega_2)\neq\emptyset.

This would provide a statistical measurement framework for examining quantum relative entropy whenever it is finite. The source does not state any resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
