Approximate Reversal of Quantum Bosonic Gaussian Dynamics

Recently, there has been focus on determining the conditions under which the data processing inequality for quantum relative entropy is satisfied with approximate equality. The solution of the exact equality case is due to Petz, who showed that the quantum relative entropy between two quantum states stays the same after the action of a quantum channel if and only if there is a reversal channel that recovers the original states after the channel acts. Furthermore, this reversal channel can be constructed explicitly and is now called the Petz recovery map. Recent developments have shown that a variation of the Petz recovery map works well for recovery in the case of approximate equality of the data processing inequality. Our main contribution here is a proof that bosonic Gaussian states and channels possess a particular closure property, namely, that the Petz recovery map associated to a bosonic Gaussian state σ and a bosonic Gaussian channel N is itself a bosonic Gaussian channel. We furthermore give an explicit construction of the Petz recovery map in this case, in terms of the mean vector and covariance matrix of the state σ and the Gaussian specification of the channel N.

Motivation

Second law of thermodynamics, Data-processing inequality, Entropy


gain
Entropic inequalities → limitations of many physical processes
(thermodynamics, information-communication, uncertainty relations
etc.)
Refining these inequalities → extent of reversibility of an
“irreversible” physical process [JSRWW15].
Applications : Approximate reversal of quantum Gaussian
dynamics, Resource theory of non-Gaussianity

Background — Data-processing and recoverability

Quantum relative entropy


For quantum states ρ and σ :

D(ρkσ) ≡ Tr[ρ(log ρ − log σ)], supp(ρ) ⊂ supp(σ).

Data-processing
For states ρ, σ and quantum channel N :

D(ρkσ) − D(N (ρ)kN (σ)) ≥ 0

Data-processing and Petz map


If D(ρkσ) − D(N (ρ)kN (σ)) = 0, then

Pσ,N ◦ N (ρ) = ρ.

Background — Petz recovery map

Petz map [Petz88]


Given a state σ and a channel N , the associated Petz map Pσ,N is a linear
map solution of
†
hA, N † (B)iσ = hPσ,N (A), BiN (σ) , ∀A, B,

where A and B are bounded operators and the weighted Hilbert–Schmidt


inner product for bounded operators τ1 and τ2 and a trace-class operator ξ
is
hτ1 , τ2 iξ ≡ Tr[τ1† ξ 1/2 τ2 ξ 1/2 ].

Uniqueness of the Petz map


Pσ,N is unique if N (σ) is a faithful operator, and otherwise, it is unique
on the support of this operator.

Let σ be a quantum Gaussian state, and let N be a quantum Gaussian
channel. Then the Petz recovery map Pσ,N is a quantum Gaussian
channel: (

Proof strategy I

Ansatz 1
Work with form of Petz map in the finite-dimensional case
1 1 1 1
Pσ,N (·) = σ 2 N † (N (σ)− 2 (·)N (σ)− 2 )σ 2 .

Under the same Ansatz 1, we arrive at the hypothesis that (1) gives the
explicit form for the action of the Petz map on a Gaussian input state.
The Petz map is a serial concatenation of three completely positive maps:

(·) → N (σ)−1/2 (·)N (σ)−1/2 ,


(·) → N † (·),
(·) → σ 1/2 (·)σ 1/2 .

Proof strategy II

Ansatz 2
σ → σ −1 ⇒ Vσ → −Vσ .

Gaussian sandwich
Sandwiching a Gaussian state by the square root of another Gaussian state
is a Gaussian map resulting in another unnormalized, Gaussian state
[BBP15].

Ansatz 3
Assumption that the matrix X is invertible. (Later, we show how this
assumption is not necessary.)
