A glimpse at the operator Kantorovich inequality

Abstract: We show the following result: Let $A$ be a positive operator satisfying $0<m{{\mathbf{1}}{\mathcal{H}}}\le A\le M{{\mathbf{1}}{\mathcal{H}}}$ for some scalars $m,M$ with $m<M$ and $\Phi $ be a normalized positive linear map, then [\Phi \left( {{A}^{-1}} \right)\le \Phi \left( {{m}^{\frac{A-M{{\mathbf{1}}{\mathcal{H}}}}{M-m}}}{{M}^{\frac{m{{\mathbf{1}}{\mathcal{H}}}-A}{M-m}}} \right)\le \frac{{{\left( M+m \right)}^{2}}}{4Mm}\Phi {{\left( A \right)}^{-1}}.]
