We determine the p → q norms of the Gaussian one-mode quantum-limited attenuator and amplifier and prove that they are achieved by Gaussian states, extending to noncommutative probability the seminal theorem "Gaussian kernels have only Gaussian maximizers" (Lieb, Invent. Math. 102, 179 (1990)). The quantum-limited attenuator and amplifier are the building blocks of quantum Gaussian channels, which play a key role in quantum communication theory since they model in the quantum regime the attenuation and the noise affecting any electromagnetic signal. Our result is crucial to prove the longstanding conjecture stating that Gaussian input states minimize the output entropy of one-mode phase-covariant quantum Gaussian channels for fixed input entropy. Our proof technique is based on a new noncommutative logarithmic Sobolev inequality, and it can be used to determine the p → q norms of any quantum semigroup.Mathematics Subject Classification (2010). 46B28; 46N50; 81P45; 81V80; 94A15.

“…We remark that it would significantly strengthen known results about the qOU semigroup. Specifically, Carbone et al [26] established that the qOU semigroup is hypercontractive. In [26,Proposition 4.2], the following inequality was shown for the Log-Sobolev-2 constant 1 α 2 of L µ,λ :…”

We establish a quantum version of the classical isoperimetric inequality relating the Fisher information and the entropy power of a quantum state. The key tool is a Fisher information inequality for a state which results from a certain convolution operation: the latter maps a classical probability distribution on phase space and a quantum state to a quantum state. We show that this inequality also gives rise to several related inequalities whose counterparts are well-known in the classical setting: in particular, it implies an entropy power inequality for the mentioned convolution operation as well as the isoperimetric inequality, and establishes concavity of the entropy power along trajectories of the quantum heat diffusion semigroup. As an application, we derive a Log-Sobolev inequality for the quantum Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup, and argue that it implies fast convergence towards the fixed point for a large class of initial states.for the convolution (3) and for λ = 1/2, where S(ρ X ) = −tr(ρ X log ρ X ) denotes the von Neumann entropy. Subsequent work [14] managed to lift the restriction on λ, and generalized this result to more general (Gaussian) unitaries in place of U λ . A related inequality of the form , 1] was also shown in [13], generalizing classical results [15] (see also [16] for a discussion of the relationship between the two). A generalization to conditional entropies was proposed in [17], and an application to channel capacities was discussed in [18].A key tool in establishing these results is the quantum Fisher information J(ρ), defined for a state ρ as the divergence-based Fisher information of the family ρ (θ) θ obtained by displacing ρ along a phase space direction (see Section 3 for a precise definition). It was shown in [13] for λ = 1/2 and in [14] for general λ ∈ [0, 1] that this quantity satisfies the Fisher information inequality [3]

We consider a quantum generalization of the classical heat equation, and study contractivity properties of its associated semigroup. We prove a Nash inequality and a logarithmic Sobolev inequality. The former leads to an ultracontractivity result. This in turn implies that the largest eigenvalue and the purity of a state with positive Wigner function, evolving under the action of the semigroup, decrease at least inverse polynomially in time, while its entropy increases at least logarithmically in time.
