If , then
In finite dimension this follows from multipartite superadditivity of quantum relative entropy, additivity of quantum relative entropy, contraction of trace distance under partial trace, and uniform continuity on the compact state space.
Let be the th one-system marginal of , and put . Contractivity of trace distance under partial trace gives
uniformly in . Because the one-system state space is a compact space, continuity of implies uniform continuity. Hence there is a function such that
for every .
Multipartite superadditivity and additivity now imply
Therefore
which proves the required lower asymptotic semicontinuity of quantum relative entropy argument.
