This research provides the first computer-verifiable proof that minimum Rényi entropy violates additivity for quantum channels up to order p ≤ 1/22, resolving a long-standing gap in quantum information theory. By replacing numerical approximations with exact rational matrix certificates, the study validates fundamental theoretical models governing how information behaves when combining independent quantum systems. These rigorous bounds are essential for refining error correction protocols and understanding the intrinsic limits of quantum data transmission.
Researchers Certify Quantum Additivity Violation at P Equals One Twenty-Two

Until now, evidence for non-additivity in minimum Rényi entropy relied on numerical approximations up to approximately p = 0. 11 without verifiable proof. This work establishes an exact violation, demonstrating $S_p^{\min}(\mathrm{N}R\otimes\mathrm{N}{\bar S}) < S_p^{\min}(\mathrm{N}_R)+S_p^{\min}(\mathrm{N}_{\bar S})$, and provides a computer-verifiable certificate valid up to order p ≤ 1/22.
Artus Krohn-Grimberghe, at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, has demonstrated additivity violations for quantum channels at positive orders. A computer-verifiable certificate confirms this violation for an explicit channel pair up to an order of 1/22. This achievement resolves a gap in previous work that relied on numerical evidence lacking definitive proof; the team confirmed strict additivity violation using elementary interval arguments and rational matrices. The non-additivity…
