This research establishes a direct mathematical link between entropy decay rates and the BKM coercivity constant in open quantum systems, providing refined analytical tools for characterizing convergence to equilibrium. By proving the equivalence of this new constant with modified log-Sobolev inequalities, the study offers improved methods for efficiently preparing complex quantum states and analyzing Markovian dynamics.

Researchers Link Entropy Decay to BKM Coercivity

Quantum ZeitgeistSeptember 18, 20264 min read

Exponential decay of relative entropy in complex quantum systems now directly correlates with positivity of the BKM coercivity constant, revealing a previously unseen governing principle. This work establishes equivalence between this new constant and established logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, offering refined analytical tools for characterising dynamic efficiency. Consequently, finite-dimensional Chen-Kastoryano-Gilyén Gibbs samplers are proven to consistently fulfil the complete modified log-Sobolev inequality.

The team has demonstrated how the positivity of a newly introduced ‘BKM coercivity constant’ dictates the rate at which relative entropy decays in quantum Markov semigroups; these semigroups describe the evolution of open quantum systems. They have also proven that this BKM coercivity constant is directly equivalent to another measure called the modified log-Sobolev constant, linking two important concepts in quantifying convergence to equilibrium. Researchers have linked two key mathematical ideas used to understand how…
