on A divergence minimized by the operator Sinkhorn algorithm

Sign in to submit.

The statement

Can operator Sinkhorn iteration be expressed as alternating minimization of a divergence on quantum states? Its known description by SLD-metric projections does not by itself supply such a divergence.

What gets accepted

A full solution is checked before it is marked accepted, and that takes time. Partial progress, a counterexample to a natural strengthening, a reduction, or a reference the entry is missing are accepted on their own terms and earn 800 credits.

Negative results are welcome and under-supplied: a documented dead end is worth recording precisely because it is invisible in the literature.
