Abstract
Purely multiplicative comparisons of quantum relative entropy are desirable but challenging to prove. We show such comparisons for relative entropies between comparable densities, including the relative entropy of a density with respect to its subalgebraic restriction. These inequalities are asymptotically tight in approaching known, tight inequalities as perturbation size approaches zero. Based on these results, we obtain a kind of inequality known as quasi-factorization or approximate tensorization of relative entropy. Quasi-factorization lower bounds the sum of a density’s relative entropies to several subalgebraic restrictions in terms of its relative entropy to their intersection’s subalgebraic restriction. As applications, quasi-factorization implies uncertainty-like relations, and with an iteration trick, it yields decay estimates of optimal asymptotic order on mixing processes described by finite, connected, undirected graphs.
