Abstract: We prove that every GNS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroup on a finite dimensional matrix algebra satisfies a modified log-Sobolev inequality. In the discrete time setting, we prove that every finite dimensional GNS-symmetric quantum channel satisfies a strong data processing inequality with respect to its decoherence free part. Moreover, we establish the first general approximate tensorization property of relative entropy. This extends the famous strong subadditivity of the quantum entropy (SSA) of two subsystems to the general setting of two subalgebras. All the three results are independent of the size of the environment and hence satisfy the tensorization property. They are obtained via a common, conceptually simple method for proving entropic inequalities via spectral or L2-estimates. As applications, we combine our results on the modified log-Sobolev inequality and approximate tensorization to derive bounds for examples of both theoretical and practical relevance, including representation of sub-Laplacians on operatornameSU(2) and various classes of local quantum Markov semigroups such as quantum Kac generators and continuous time approximate unitary designs. For the latter, our bounds imply the existence of local continuous time Markovian evolutions on nk qudits forming epsilon-approximate k-designs in relative entropy for times scaling as widetildemathcalO(n2operatornamepoly(k)).
