These semigroups have a unique stationary state σ, and we are concerned with those that satisfy a quantum detailed balance condition with respect to σ. We show that the evolution on the set of states that is given by such a quantum Markov semigroup is gradient flow for the relative entropy with respect to σ in a particular Riemannian metric on the set of states. This metric is a non-commutative analog of the 2-Wasserstein metric, and in several interesting cases we are able to show, in analogy with work of Otto on gradient flows with respect to the classical 2-Wasserstein metric, that the relative entropy is strictly and uniformly convex with respect to the Riemannian metric introduced here. As a consequence, we obtain a number of new inequalities for the decay of relative entropy for ergodic quantum Markov semigroups with detailed balance.","lang":"eng"}],"month":"09","quality_controlled":"1","publication_identifier":{"issn":["00221236"]},"publication":"Journal of Functional Analysis","publist_id":"6452","type":"journal_article","title":"Gradient flow and entropy inequalities for quantum Markov semigroups with detailed balance","issue":"5","date_published":"2017-09-01T00:00:00Z","oa_version":"Submitted Version","publication_status":"published","oa":1,"_id":"956","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:22:12Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:49:24Z","status":"public","user_id":"4435EBFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","volume":273,"department":[{"_id":"JaMa"}],"citation":{"apa":"Carlen, E., & Maas, J.
