For a positive-definite Hermitian operator and a unit vector , the weights form a probability distribution. Scalar logarithmic concavity bounds their average of by the logarithm of their average of . Positive semidefinite operators follow by a limiting convention. Using the eigenbasis of a density operator gives , where is the spectrum of and the diagonal of in that basis. This yields nonnegativity of quantum relative entropy without commutativity.
