A quantum version of Sanov's theorem

abstract: We present a quantum extension of a version of Sanov's theorem focussing on a hypothesis testing aspect of the theorem: There exists a sequence of typical subspaces for a given set $\Psi$ of stationary quantum product states asymptotically separating them from another fixed stationary product state. Analogously to the classical case, the exponential separating rate is equal to the infimum of the quantum relative entropy with respect to the quantum reference state over the set $\Psi$. However, while in the classical case the separating subsets can be chosen universal, in the sense that they depend only on the chosen set of i.i.d. processes, in the quantum case the choice of the separating subspaces depends additionally on the reference state.
