| contents | A quantum analogue of the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) for bosonic system, first introduced by Cushen and Hudson (1971), states that the $n$-fold convolution $ρ^{\boxplus n}$ of an $m$-mode quantum state $ρ$, with zero first moments and finite second moments, converges weakly, as $n$ increases, to a Gaussian state $ρ_G$ with the same first and second moments as those of $ρ$, called its Gaussification. Recently, this result has been extended with estimates of the convergence rate in various distance measures. In this paper, we establish optimal rates of convergence in both the trace distance and quantum relative entropy. Specifically, we show that for a centered $m$-mode quantum state with finite third-order moments, the trace distance between $ρ^{\boxplus n}$ and $ρ_G$ decays at the optimal rate of $\mathcal{O}(n^{-1/2})$. Furthermore, for states with finite fourth-order moments (order $4+δ$ for an arbitrary small $δ>0$ if $m>1$), we prove that the relative entropy between $ρ^{\boxplus n}$ and $ρ_G$ decays at the optimal rate of $\mathcal{O}(n^{-1})$. Both of these rates are proven to be optimal, even when assuming the finiteness of all moments of $ρ$. These results relax previous assumptions on higher-order moments, yielding convergence rates that match the best known results in the classical setting. By giving explicit examples we also show that our moment assumptions are essentially minimal. Our proofs draw on techniques from the classical literature, including Edgeworth-type expansions of quantum characteristic functions, adapted to the quantum context. A key technical step in the proof of our entropic CLT is establishing an upper bound on the relative entropy distance between a general quantum state and its Gaussification, which is of independent interest. |
