Ricci curvature of quantum channels on non-commutative transportation metric spaces
arXiv:2108.10609
Abstract
Following Ollivier's work, we introduce the coarse Ricci curvature of a quantum channel as the contraction of non-commutative metrics on the state space. These metrics are defined as a non-commutative transportation cost in the spirit of [N. Gozlan and C. Léonard. 2006], which gives a unified approach to different quantum Wasserstein distances in the literature. We prove that the coarse Ricci curvature lower bound and its dual gradient estimate, under suitable assumptions, imply the Poincaré inequality (spectral gap) as well as transportation cost inequalities. Using intertwining relations, we obtain positive bounds on the coarse Ricci curvature of Gibbs samplers, Bosonic and Fermionic beam-splitters as well as Pauli channels on n-qubits.
