Abstract

For two hermitian matrices AA and BB, Golden-Thompson inequality \cite{golden1965lower, thompson1965inequality} states that tr[exp(A+B)]tr[exp(A)exp(B)]. \mathrm{tr}\left[ \exp{(A+B)} \right] \leq \mathrm{tr}\left[ \exp{(A)}\exp{(B)} \right]. We elaborate here the proof from Sutter et al. (2017).
