Affine parameterization of quantum channels

Abstract

We establish a one-one affine parameterization of all completely positive maps on a matrix algebra that maps the identity matrix to a given positive matrix. The parameterization is applied to the analysis of quantum binary 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.

One-to-one parametrization of quantum channels

Akio Fujiwara, P. Algoet

In contrast to the many-to-one and quadratic nature of correspondence in the conventional representation of quantum channels, such as the operator-sum or the unitary representation, we present a one-to-one and linear (affine) parametrization of quantum channels. This parametrization enables us to visualize the convex structure of the space of quantum channels. To demonstrate its usefulness, we apply it to the analysis of quantum binary channels.

On quantum channels

Frank Verstraete, Henri Verschelde

One of the most challenging open problems in quantum information theory is to clarify and quantify how entanglement behaves when part of an entangled state is sent through a quantum channel. Of central importance in the description of a quantum channel or completely positive map (CP-map) is the dual state associated to it. The present paper is a collection of well-known, less known and new results on quantum channels, presented in a unified way. We will show how this dual state induces nice characterizations of the extremal maps of the convex set of CP-maps, and how normal forms for states defined on a Hilbert space with a tensor product structure lead to interesting parameterizations of quantum channels.

An interpolation problem for completely positive maps on matrix algebras: solvability and parametrization

Călin-Grigore Ambrozie, Aurelian Gheondea

We present certain existence criteria and parameterizations for an interpolation problem for completely positive maps that take given matrices from a finite set into prescribed matrices. Our approach uses density matrices associated to linear functionals on -subspaces of matrices, inspired by the Smith-Ward linear functional and Arveson’s Hahn-Banach Type Theorem. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of solutions and a parametrization of the set of all solutions of the interpolation problem in terms of a closed and convex set of an affine space are obtained. Other linear affine restrictions, like trace preserving, can be included as well, hence covering applications to quantum channels that yield certain quantum states at prescribed quantum states. We also perform a careful investigation on the intricate relation between the positivity of the density matrix and the positivity of the corresponding linear functional.
