We consider the higher order Tur\'an inequality and higher order log-concavity for sequences $\{a_n\}_{n \ge 0}$ such that \[ \frac{a_{n-1}a_{n+1}}{a_n^2} = 1 + \sum_{i=1}^m \frac{r_i(\log n)}{n^{\alpha_i}} + o\left( \frac{1}{n^{\beta}}…

We investigate the relationship between partial traces and their dilations for general complex matrices, focusing on two main aspects: the existence of (joint) dilations and norm inequalities relating partial traces and their dilations.…

Low probability of detection (or covert) communication refers to the scenario where information must be sent reliably to a receiver, but with low probability of detection by an adversary. Recent works on the fundamental limits of this…

We study the quantum channel version of Shannon's zero-error capacity problem. Motivated by recent progress on this question, we propose to consider a certain operator space as the quantum generalisation of the adjacency matrix, in terms of…

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a simple object in a pivotal k-category to be ambidextrous. In turn, these objects imply the existence of nontrivial trace functions in the category. These functions play an important role…

We show how the fundamental entropic inequality proved recently in [arXiv:2408.15306] can be applied to obtain a useful relation for the Holevo quantity of discrete and continuous ensembles of quantum states. This relation gives a tight…

Functional inequalities such as the Poincar\'e and log-Sobolev inequalities quantify convergence to equilibrium in continuous-time Markov chains by linking generator properties to variance and entropy decay. However, many applications,…

Quantum coherence and entanglement are two key features in quantum mechanics and play important roles in quantum information processing and quantum computation. We provide a general triangle-like inequality satisfied by the $l_1$-norm…

In this expository paper, various properties of matrix traces, determinants and adjugate matrices are proved, including the *trace Cayley-Hamilton theorem*, which says that \[ kc_k + \sum_{i=1}^k \operatorname{Tr} (A^i) c_{k-i} = 0 \qquad…

The Holevo bound is a bound on the mutual information for a given quantum encoding. In 1996 Schumacher, Westmoreland and Wootters [Schumacher, Westmoreland and Wootters, Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 3452 (1996)] derived a bound which reduces to the…

The Golden-Thompson trace inequality which states that $Tr\, e^{H+K} \leq Tr\, e^H e^K$ has proved to be very useful in quantum statistical mechanics. Golden used it to show that the classical free energy is less than the quantum one. Here…
