Tight upper bound for $m[Q^k - Q^{k+1}]$ for completely positive linear maps
Let $m: \mathcal{L}(\mathbb{R}^{d \times d}) \to \mathbb{R}$ be the function
$$
m[H] = \frac{\lambda_{\max}(H[\mathbf{I}])}{\lambda_{\max}(H)},
$$
where $\lambda_{\max}$ denotes the largest eigenvalue....

A generalization of the Powers-Stormer inequality
The well-known Powers-Stormer inequality says the following: for positive semidefinite operators $A, B$, we have that $\mathrm{Tr}((A - B)(A - B)) \leq \| A^2 - B^2 \|_1$, where $\| \cdot \|_1$ ...
