Structure of States Which Satisfy Strong Subadditivity of Quantum Entropy with Equality

Abstract: We give an explicit characterisation of the quantum states which saturate the strong subadditivity inequality for the von Neumann entropy. By combining a result of Petz characterising the equality case for the monotonicity of relative entropy with a recent theorem by Koashi and Imoto, we show that such states will have the form of a so-called short quantum Markov chain, which in turn implies that two of the systems are independent conditioned on the third, in a physically meaningful sense. This characterisatio… Show more

“…A very related 'impossibility feature' of discord deals with the 'local relocation' of quantum states by classical means, that is, roughly speaking, with the transmission (equivalently, storing) of the quantum information contained in quantum subsystems via classical communication (a classical memory). Indeed, it can be checked through a powerful result by Petz [33][34][35] that the ability to perfectly locally broadcast (equivalently, to perfectly store by classical means) distributed quantum states reduces to the ability to perfectly locally broadcast or classically store correlations, as measured by the quantum mutual information [27,28,36], a feat possible-by definition-only in absence of discord. The relation between the above two 'impossibility features' is due to the fact that quantum information becomes classical when broadcast to many parties [32,[37][38][39].…”
