Relative quantumness data-processing conjecture for CoP channels

From papers

Let H\mathcal H be a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, let ρ,σD(H)\rho,\sigma\in\mathcal D(\mathcal H) satisfy [ρ,σ]0[\rho,\sigma]\neq0, and let ρε,σε\rho_\varepsilon,\sigma_\varepsilon be their regularized states. A commutativity-preserving (CoP) channel is a CPTP map N:B(H)B(H)\mathcal N:\mathcal B(\mathcal H)\to\mathcal B(\mathcal H) that maps every commuting pair of states to a commuting pair. Assume

supp ⁣(N(ρε))supp ⁣(N(σε)).\operatorname{supp}\!\bigl(\mathcal N(\rho_\varepsilon)\bigr)\subseteq\operatorname{supp}\!\bigl(\mathcal N(\sigma_\varepsilon)\bigr).

Relative quantumness data-processing conjecture. Under these assumptions,

Q(ρεσε)Q(N(ρε)N(σε))0.Q(\rho_\varepsilon\|\sigma_\varepsilon)\geq Q\left(\mathcal N(\rho_\varepsilon)\|\mathcal N(\sigma_\varepsilon)\right)\geq0.

The conjecture asks whether relative quantumness is monotone under physically relevant commutativity-preserving channels for non-commuting inputs. The support condition ensures that the regularized functional remains well-defined even when channel outputs are rank-deficient; the data-processing inequality is not established in the supplied text.
