Abstract
The theory of hypercontractivity and the closely related concept of log-Sobolev inequalities have become a fundamental tool in probability, computer science, and information theory. Recently, generalisations of these ideas to quantum information theory have also proven fruitful. In this talk I will discuss a quantum generalisation of a “reverse” version of a hypercontractive inequality, whose classical case was due to Mossel, Oleszkiewicz and Sen. Applications include a rapid mixing result for depolarising noise applied to large subspaces, and bounds on a quantum generalisation of non-interactive correlation distillation.
