Quantum Entropy Contraction and Factorization from Hypercontractivity

Li Gao, Lijun Wang

We prove that hypercontractivity implies entropy contraction for a single quantum channel, without a detailed balance condition. For primitive quantum Markov semigroups that are KM…

Entropy Uncertainty Relations and Strong Sub-additivity of Quantum Channels

Li Gao, Marius Junge, Nicholas LaRacuente

We prove an entropic uncertainty relation for two quantum channels, extending the work of Frank and Lieb for quantum measurements. This is obtained via a generalized strong super-a…

Asymptotic Equipartition Theorems in von Neumann algebras

Omar Fawzi, Li Gao, Mizanur Rahaman

The Asymptotic Equipartition Property (AEP) in information theory establishes that independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) states behave in a way that is similar to unifor…

Sample optimal tomography of quantum Markov chains

Li Gao, Nengkun Yu

A state on a tripartite quantum system forms a Markov chain, i.e., quantum conditional independence, if it can be re…

Relative entropy decay and complete positivity mixing time

Li Gao, Marius Junge, Nicholas LaRacuente +1

We prove that the complete modified logarithmic Sobolev constant of a quantum Markov semigroup is bounded by the inverse of its complete positivity mixing time. For classical Marko…

Rapid thermalization of spin chain commuting Hamiltonians

Ivan Bardet, Ángela Capel, Li Gao +3

We prove that spin chains weakly coupled to a large heat bath thermalize rapidly at any temperature for finite-range, translation-invariant commuting Hamiltonians, reaching equilib…

Ricci curvature of quantum channels on non-commutative transportation metric spaces

Li Gao, Cambyse Rouzé

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…
