Quaternionic versus complex maps

M. Asorey, G. Scolarici, Luigi Solombrino

We discuss the relation between completely positive quaternionic maps and the corresponding complex maps obtained via projection operation. In order to illustrate this formalism, we reobtain the (complex) qubit subdynamics of maximally entangled Bell states, as complex projection of unitary dynamics between quaternionic pure states.

Complex positive maps and quaternionic unitary evolution

M. Asorey, G. Scolarici

The complex projection of any n -dimensional quaternionic unitary dynamics defines a one-parameter positive semigroup dynamics. We show that the converse is also true, i.e. that any one-parameter positive semigroup dynamics of complex density matrices with maximal rank can be obtained as the complex projection of suitable quaternionic unitary dynamics.

Quasistationary quaternionic Hamiltonians and complex stochastic maps

G. Scolarici, L. Solombrino

We show that the complex projections of time-dependent η-quasianti-Hermitian quaternionic Hamiltonian dynamics are complex stochastic dynamics in the space of complex quasi-Hermitian density matrices if and only if a quasistationarity condition is fulfilled, i. e., if and only if η is an Hermitian positive time-independent complex operator. An example is also discussed. 1
