Additivity Results for the Rényi-2 Entanglement of Purification

Shokoufe Faraji, Zahra Baghali Khanian

We reformulate the Rényi entanglement of purification as a constrained minimum output Rényi entropy problem. Equivalently, for $p>1$, this formulation can be expressed in terms of a constrained maximal output Schatten $p$-norm. More precisely, for a completely positive map $Ω:L(B')\to L(A)$, we consider the quantity $\upsilon_p(Ω)$ defined by optimizing $\|(Ω\otimes \mathrm{id}_E)(σ^{B'E})\|_p$ over all bipartite states $σ^{B'E}$ whose $B'$-marginal is maximally mixed. We focus on the case $p=2$. First, we compute $\upsilon_2$ for the transpose-depolarizing channel and prove that it is multiplicative under tensor powers. We then establish a general multiplicativity criterion: whenever a completely positive map $N:L(B')\to L(A)$ satisfies $N^{\dagger} \mathbin{\circ} N=a\,\mathrm{id}_A+b\,\mathrm{Tr}[\cdot]\,I_d$ for some constants $a,b\ge 0$, where $N^{\dagger}$ denotes the Hilbert-Schmidt adjoint of $N$, the quantity $\upsilon_2(N)$ is multiplicative under tensor powers. Examples of channels satisfying this criterion include the transpose-depolarizing channel, the depolarizing channel, and their respective complementary channels. Furthermore, we show that, for every completely positive map $Ω$, multiplicativity of $\upsilon_p(Ω)$ implies multiplicativity for its complementary map. This yields the corresponding additivity statements for the associated Rényi-2 entanglement of purification.

Mixing doubly stochastic quantum channels with the completely depolarizing channel

John Watrous

It is proved that every doubly stochastic quantum channel that is properly averaged with the completely depolarizing channel can be written as a convex combination of unitary channels. It follows that within the space of doubly stochastic quantum channels, there is a ball with positive radius around the completely depolarizing channel within which all channels are convex combinations of unitary channels.

Relative entropy convergence for depolarizing channels

Alexander Müller‐Hermes, Daniel Stilck França, Michael M. Wolf

We study the convergence of states under continuous-time depolarizing channels with full rank fixed points in terms of the relative entropy. The optimal exponent of an upper bound on the relative entropy in this case is given by the log-Sobolev-1 constant. Our main result is the computation of this constant. As an application, we use the log-Sobolev-1 constant of the depolarizing channels to improve the concavity inequality of the von Neumann entropy. This result is compared to similar bounds obtained recently by Kim and we show a version of Pinsker’s inequality, which is optimal and tight if we fix the second argument of the relative entropy. Finally, we consider the log-Sobolev-1 constant of tensor-powers of the completely depolarizing channel and use a quantum version of Shearer’s inequality to prove a uniform lower bound.

We reformulate the Rényi entanglement of purification as a constrained minimum output Rényi entropy problem. Equivalently, for p>1p>1p>1, this formulation can be expressed in terms of a constrained maximal output Schatten ppp-norm. More precisely, for a completely positive map Ω:L(B′)→L(A)Ω:L(B')\to L(A)Ω:L(B′)→L(A), we consider the quantity υp(Ω)\upsilon_p(Ω)υp​(Ω) defined by optimizing ∥(Ω⊗idE)(σB′E)∥p\|(Ω\otimes \mathrm{id}_E)(σ^{B'E})\|_p∥(Ω⊗idE​)(σB′E)∥p​ over all bipartite states σB′Eσ^{B'E}σB′E whose B′B'B′-marginal is maximally mixed. We focus on the case p=2p=2p=2. First, we compute υ2\upsilon_2υ2​ for the transpose-depolarizing channel and prove that it is multiplicative under tensor powers. We then establish a general multiplicativity criterion: whenever a completely positive map N:L(B′)→L(A)N:L(B')\to L(A)N:L(B′)→L(A) satisfies N†∘N=a idA+b Tr[⋅] IdN^{\dagger} \mathbin{\circ} N=a\,\mathrm{id}_A+b\,\mathrm{Tr}[\cdot]\,I_dN†∘N=aidA​+bTr[⋅]Id​ for some constants a,b≥0a,b\ge 0a,b≥0, where N†N^{\dagger}N† denotes the Hilbert-Schmidt adjoint of NNN, the quantity υ2(N)\upsilon_2(N)υ2​(N) is multiplicative under tensor powers. Examples of channels satisfying this criterion include the transpose-depolarizing channel, the depolarizing channel, and their respective complementary channels. Furthermore, we show that, for every completely positive map ΩΩΩ, multiplicativity of υp(Ω)\upsilon_p(Ω)υp​(Ω) implies multiplicativity for its complementary map. This yields the corresponding additivity statements for the associated Rényi-2 entanglement of purification.
