An Uncertainty Principle For Completely Positive Maps

Published Nov 19, 2016• 4 citations

Abstract

We present an "uncertainty principle" for quantum channels, showing a relationship between the dimensions of the range of a channel and the range of its complement. We examine some interesting specific cases, and discuss consequences for privacy of quantum channels.

Uncertainty principle of quantum processes

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, which imposes intrinsic restrictions on our ability to predict the outcomes of incompatible quantum measurements to arbitrary precision, demonstrates one of the key differences between classical and quantum mechanics.The physical systems considered in the uncertainty principle are static in nature and described mathematically with a quantum state in a Hilbert space.However, many physical systems are dynamic in nature and described with the formalism of a quantum channel.In this paper, we show that the uncertainty principle can be reformulated to include process measurements that are performed on quantum channels.Since both the preparation of quantum states and the implementation of quantum measurements are themselves special cases of quantum channels, our formalism encapsulates the uncertainty principle in its utmost generality.More specifically, we obtain expressions that generalize the Maassen-Uffink uncertainty relation and the universal uncertainty relations from quantum states to quantum channels.

Lattice structures for quantum channels

T. Constantinescu

We suggest that a certain one-to-one parametrization of completely positive maps on the matrix algebra might be useful in the study of quantum channels. This is illustrated in the case of binary quantum channels. While the algorithm is quite intricate, it admits a simple, lattice structure representation.

Classical capacity of quantum channels, coherent quantum information and quantum privacy

B. Schjumacher, Michael D. Westmorland

We derive a relation between a quantum channel's capacity to convey classical information and its ability to convey quantum information. This relation is applied to the analysis of the privacy of a quantum channel.

A class of Schwarz qubit maps with diagonal unitary and orthogonal symmetries

Dariusz Chruściński, Bihalan Bhattacharya

Abstract A class of unital qubit maps displaying diagonal unitary and orthogonal symmetries is analyzed. Such maps have already found a lot applications in quantum information theory. We provide a complete characterization of this class of maps showing intricate relation between positivity, operator Schwarz inequality, and complete positivity. Finally, it is shown how to generalize the entire picture beyond unital case (so called generalized Schwarz maps). Interestingly, the first example of Schwarz but not completely positive map found by Choi belongs to our class. As a case study we provide a full characterization of Pauli maps. Our analysis leads to generalization of seminal Fujiwara–Algoet conditions for Pauli quantum channels.

Hybrid Quantum Systems: Complementarity of Quantum Privacy and Error-Correction, and Higher Rank Matricial Ranges

Mike I. Nelson

We establish operator structure identities for quantum channels and their error-correcting and private codes, emphasizing the complementarity relationship between the two perspectives. Relevant structures include correctable and private operator algebras, and operator spaces such as multiplicative domains and nullspaces of quantum channels and their complementary maps. For the case of privatizing to quantum states, we also derive dimension inequalities on the associated operator algebras that further quantify the trade-off between correction and privacy.
