AB - Fiedler and Markham (1994) proved \[ \Big (\frac{\mathop {\rm det } \widehat{H}}{k}\Big )^{ k}\ge \mathop {\rm det } H, \] where $H=(H_{ij})_{i,j=1}^n$ is a positive semidefinite matrix partitioned into $n\times n$ blocks with each block $k\times k$ and $\widehat{H}=(\mathop {\rm tr} H_{ij})_{i,j=1}^n$. We revisit this inequality mainly using some terminology from quantum information theory. Analogous results are included. For example, under the same condition, we prove \[ \mathop {\rm det }(I_n+\widehat{H}) \ge \mathop {\rm det }(I_{nk}+kH)^{{1}/{k}}.\]
