We prove a Chernoff-type bound for sums of matrix-valued random variables sampled via a random walk on an expander, confirming a conjecture due to Wigderson and Xiao. Our proof is based on a new multi-matrix extension of the Golden-Thompson…

Chernoff's bound binds a tail probability (ie. $Pr(X \ge a)$, where $a \ge EX$). Assuming that the distribution of $X$ is $Q$, the logarithm of the bound is known to be equal to the value of relative entropy (or minus Kullback-Leibler…
