The study of relative entropy between states in quantum field theory has recently attracted much attention in connection with the quantum null energy condition; usually one considers the vacuum and a coherent excitation, and the relative entropy with respect to a wedge algebra. In generalization of this, we study the relative entropy for a subalgebra of a generic CCR algebra between a general (possibly mixed) quasifree state and a coherent excitation of it. We give a formula for this entropy in terms of single-particle modular data. We also investigate changes of the relative entropy along subalgebras arising from an increasing family of symplectic subspaces, and study lower estimates for the second derivative of the relative entropy along this family, which replace the usual notion of convexity of the entropy. Our main input is a regularity condition for the family of subspaces (differential modular position) which generalizes the notion of half-sided modular inclusions. Examples include thermal states for the conformal U(1)-current.
