Let H0 be a selfadjoint operator such that Tr e−βH0 is of trace class for some β < 1, and let χɛ denote the set of ɛ-bounded forms, i.e., ∥(H0+C)−1/2−ɛX(H0+C)−1/2+ɛ∥ < C for some C > 0. Let χ := Span ∪ɛ∈(0,1/2]χɛ. Let [Formula: see text] denote the underlying set of the quantum information manifold of states of the form ρx = e−H0−X−ψx, X ∈ χ. We show that if Tr e−H0 = 1. 1. the map Φ, [Formula: see text] is a quantum Young function defined on χ 2. The Orlicz space defined by Φ is the tangent space of [Formula: see text] at ρ0; its affine structure is defined by the (+1)-connection of Amari 3. The subset of a ‘hood of ρ0, consisting of p-nearby states (those [Formula: see text] obeying C−1ρ1+p ≤ σ ≤ Cρ1 − p for some C > 1) admits a flat affine connection known as the (−1) connection, and the span of this set is part of the cotangent space of [Formula: see text] 4. These dual structures extend to the completions in the Luxemburg norms.
