Abstract: The quantum chi^2-divergence has recently been introduced and applied to quantum channels (quantum Markov processes). In contrast to the classical setting the quantum chi^2-divergence is not unique but depends on the choice of quantum statistics. In the reference [11] a special one-parameter family of quantum chi^2_alpha( ho,sigma)-divergences for density matrices were studied, and it was established that they are convex functions in ( ho,sigma) for parameter values alphain [0,1], thus mirroring the classical theorem for the chi^2(p,q)-divergence for probability distributions (p,q). We prove that any quantum chi^2-divergence is a convex function in its two arguments.
