The Cayley-Hamilton problem of expressing functions of matrices in terms of only their eigenvalues is well-known to simplify to finding the inverse of the confluent Vandermonde matrix. Here, we give a highly compact formula for the inverse of any matrix, and apply it to the confluent Vandermonde matrix, achieving in a single equation what has only been achieved by long iterative algorithms until now. As a prime application, we use this result to get a simple formula for explicit exponential operators in terms of only their eigenvalues, with an emphasis on application to finite discrete quantum systems with time dependence. This powerful result permits explicit solutions to all Schr\"odinger and von Neumann equations for time-commuting Hamiltonians, and explicit solutions to any degree of approximation in the non-time-commuting case. The same methods can be extended to general finite discrete open systems to get explicit quantum operations for time evolution using effective joint systems, and the exact solution of all finite discrete Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formulas.

The Ruskai-Audenaert conjecture & equipartitions of positive operators
The weak Ruskai-Audenaert conjecture holds for qutrit channels, and the strong form holds for all qubit-input channels, cq/qc channels, and a nonzero-measure set in every dimension.

Poset-refined majorization relations
Majorization relations for matrix sums and products strengthen when eigenvalue alignment is relaxed to a partial order and the change-of-basis admits a poset LU-approximation.

Ky Fan majorization for binary tensor products
Singular values of a sum of binary tensor products are weakly majorized by the sum of the tensor products of the factors' singular-value vectors, for any number of terms and any matrices.
