Modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality for 1D non-commuting Hamiltonians

Ángela Capel, David Pérez-García, Matteo Scandi

Given a finite-range, non-commuting Hamiltonian on a 1D chain of finite spins, we prove a modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality with constant for the heat-bath dyna…

Haah's 3D cubic code thermalizes rapidly

Sebastian Stengele, Libor Caha, Ángela Capel +1

Haah's 3D cubic code was introduced as a candidate for a self-correcting quantum memory in three dimensions, using the absence of string logical operators to obstruct thermal error…

Is rapid mixing stable?

Jordi A. Montañà-López, Barbara Roos, Sebastian Stengele +2

Several physically interesting Lindbladians, such as those describing generic open quantum system models as well as engineered state preparation processes, are often rapidly mixing…

Classical Estimation of the Free Energy and Quantum Gibbs Sampling from the Markov Entropy Decomposition

Samuel O. Scalet, Angela Capel, Anirban N. Chowdhury +4

We revisit the Markov Entropy Decomposition, a classical convex relaxation algorithm introduced by Poulin and Hastings to approximate the free energy in quantum spin lattices. We i…

Belavkin-Staszewski Quantum Markov Chains

Andreas Bluhm, Ángela Capel, Pablo Costa Rico +1

It is well-known that the conditional mutual information of a quantum state is zero if, and only if, the quantum state is a quantum Markov chain. Replacing the Umegaki relative ent…

Quasi-optimal sampling from Gibbs states via non-commutative optimal transport metrics

Ángela Capel, Paul Gondolf, Jan Kochanowski +1

We study the problem of sampling from and preparing quantum Gibbs states of local commuting Hamiltonians on hypercubic lattices of arbitrary dimension. We prove that any such Gibbs…

Strong decay of correlations for Gibbs states in any dimension

Andreas Bluhm, Ángela Capel, Antonio Pérez-Hernández

Quantum systems in thermal equilibrium are described using Gibbs states. The correlations in such states determine how difficult it is to describe or simulate them. In this article…

Exponential decay of mutual information for Gibbs states of local Hamiltonians

Andreas Bluhm, Ángela Capel, Antonio Pérez-Hernández

The thermal equilibrium properties of physical systems can be described using Gibbs states. It is therefore of great interest to know when such states allow for an easy description…
