Matrix Concentration inequalities for the spectrum of random matrices, such as Matrix Bernstein, have played an important role in many areas of pure and applied mathematics. These inequalities are intimately related to the celebrated noncommutative Khintchine inequality of Lust-Piquard and Pisier. In this talk we leverage ideas from Free Probability to remove the dimensional dependence in the noncommutative Khintchine in a range of instances, yielding sharp bounds in many settings of interest. As a byproduct we develop non-assymptotic matrix concentration inequalities that capture non-commutativity (or, to be more precise, ``freeness'').
