Abstract
We prove the sharp uniform continuity bound for quantum conditional entropy. If two bipartite states are at trace distance at most δ and d=dim A, the optimal dimension-only modulus of continuity is h2(δ)+δlog\(d2-1\) up to δ=1-d-2 and 2log d thereafter, where h2 denotes the binary entropy. When dim Bge d, this bound is tight for every δin[0,1]. The key proof idea was developed with the assistance of ChatGPT 5.6 Sol, building on and adapting the tight classical proof of Alhejji & Smith [IEEE ISIT (2020)], which follows a conceptually different approach.
