We propose a branch-and-bound algorithm for minimizing a bilinear functional
of the form \[ f(X,Y) = \mathrm{tr}((X\otimes
Y)Q)+\mathrm{tr}(AX)+\mathrm{tr}(BY) , \] of pairs of Hermitian matrices
$(X,Y)$ restricted by joint semidefinite programming constraints. The
functional is parametrized by self-adjoint matrices $Q$, $A$ and $B$. This
problem generalizes that of a bilinear program, where $X$ and $Y$ belong to
polyhedra. The algorithm converges to a global optimum and yields upper and
lower bounds on its value in every step. Various problems in quantum
information theory can be expressed in this form. As an example application, we
compute Dobrushin curves of quantum channels, giving upper bounds on classical
coding with energy constraints.
