TL;DR
Having that ##A \geq \pm B## how can one prove that indeed ##A^{\otimes n} \geq \pm B^{\otimes n}##
We mainly have to prove that this quantity## \bra{\varphi} A^{\otimes n } \ket{\varphi} \pm \bra{\varphi} B^{\otimes n } \ket{\varphi} ##

is greater or equal than zero for all ##\ket{\varphi}##.

Being ##\ket{\varphi}## a product state it is straightforward to demonstrate such inequality. I am struggling though to demonstrate it for a general, perhaps entangled ##\ket{\varphi}##, because of the cross products that show up.

Can someone please help me?

Many thanks in advance! :)

Can you show that if the inequality is true for a product state that its true for a sum of product states? Specifically for a sum of orthogonal product states?
 
The world of 2\times 2 complex matrices is very colorful. They form a Banach-algebra, they act on spinors, they contain the quaternions, SU(2), su(2), SL(2,\mathbb C), sl(2,\mathbb C). Furthermore, with the determinant as Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean norm, isu(2) is a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, \mathbb RI\oplus isu(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (1,3), i\mathbb RI\oplus su(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (3,1), SU(2) is the double cover of SO(3), sl(2,\mathbb C) is the...
