contents Uhlmann's theorem states that, for any two quantum states $ρ_{AB}$ and $σ_A$, there exists an extension $σ_{AB}$ of $σ_A$ such that the fidelity between $ρ_{AB}$ and $σ_{AB}$ equals the fidelity between their reduced states $ρ_A$ and $σ_A$. In this work, we generalize Uhlmann's theorem to $α$-Rényi relative entropies for $α\in [\frac{1}{2},\infty]$, a family of divergences that encompasses fidelity, relative entropy, and max-relative entropy corresponding to $α=\frac{1}{2}$, $α=1$, and $α=\infty$, respectively.
