Let ${U_i},{V_i}$ be sets of $m$ unitary operators with $||U_i-V_i||leqepsilon forall i=1,...,m$.



Then $||U_m...U_1-V_m...V_1||leq mepsilon$ with $||cdot||$ being the spectral norm.



Can someone help me show this conclusion? I'm going through some lecture notes and they omit the proof because it is "easy."

          We have
          $$begin{split}
          ||U_m...U_1-V_m...V_1|| &= left | sum_{i=1}^m U_m...U_iV_{i-1}...V_1-U_m...U_{i+1}V_i...V_1 right|\
          &leq sum_{i=1}^m |U_m...U_iV_{i-1}...V_1-U_m...U_{i+1}V_i...V_1| \
          &leq sum_{i=1}^m | U_m...U_{i+1}(U_i-V_i)V_{i-1}...V_1|\
          &leq sum_{i=1}^m |U_m...U_{i+1}||U_i-V_i||V_{i-1}...V_1|\
          end{split}$$

          where the last inequality comes from the fact that with the spectral norm, $|AB|leq|A||B|$.
          Also, any unitary transform $T$ has spectral norm $1$, so
          $|U_m...U_{i+1}|=|V_{i-1}...V_1|=1$.



          Finally, one can conclude that
          $$||U_m...U_1-V_m...V_1||
          leq sum_{i=1}^m | U_i-V_i|leq mvarepsilon
          $$
