The Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM) instability is one of the most severe degradation mechanisms for inertial confinement fusion (ICF), and mitigating it has been a priority for the global ICF effort. In this Letter, the instability's ability to atomically mix is linked to its background decay of residual turbulent energy. Here, we show how recently derived inequalities from the mathematical theory of PDEs constrain the evolution. A model RM process at leading order may diffusively mix or retain imprints of its initial structures indefinitely, depending on initial conditions, and there exists a theoretical range of zero-mixing for certain values of parameters. The results may apply to other systems resembling scalar transport in decaying turbulence.
