Title: Complete modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and quantum Gibbs samplers
Abstract: Since the seminal works of Dobrushin-Shlosman and Stroock-Zegarlinski, equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium properties of classical lattice spin systems are known to be closely related: given a potential, one can construct a Markov process, called Glauber dynamics, whose reversing state coincides with the Gibbs state for the given potential. For these dynamics, Holley and Stroock made the key observation that systems thermalizing in times scaling logarithmically in the system size, a property known as rapid mixing, satisfy exponential decay of correlations at equilibrium. The converse implication, namely that exponential decay of correlations implies rapid mixing, was investigated later on in a series of articles by Zegarlinski and Stroock, who proved the stronger condition of an exponential entropic decay of the dynamics towards the limiting Gibbs measure, also known as logarithmic Sobolev inequality. In this talk, we will prove an extension of the result of Zegarlinski and Stroock to the quantum setting. More precisely, we will show that, given the Gibbs state $\sigma$ of a 2-local commuting Hamiltonian and above a critical temperature, there exists a local quantum Markovian evolution converging to $\sigma$ which satisfies the quantum modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality (MLSI) with a constant that does not depend on the size of the lattice. As a first step towards this proof, we will also provide a proof of the existence of the MLSI for finite dimensional systems coupled to an arbitrarily large, noiseless environment (also known as the complete MLSI constant), a problem that was left open until now.
This talk is based on the following papers: https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.11817 https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.04146
