Subspace local quantum channels

چکیده

A special class of quantum channels, named subspace local (SL), are defined and investigated. The proposed definition of subspace locality of quantum channels is an attempt to answer the question of what kind of restriction should be put on a channel, if it is to act ‘locally’ with respect to two ‘locations’, when these naturally correspond to a separation of the total Hilbert space in an orthogonal sum of subspaces H = H1 ⊕ H2, rather than a tensor product decomposition H = H1 ⊗ H2. It is shown that the set of SL channels decomposes into four disjoint families of channels. Explicit expressions to generate all channels in each family are presented. It is shown that one of these four families, the local subspace preserving (LSP) channels, is precisely the intersection between the set of subspace preserving channels and the SL channels. For a subclass of the LSP channels, a special type of unitary representation using ancilla systems is presented. PACS numbers: 03.65.-w, 03.67.-a

A class of quantum channels and completely positive maps (CPMs) are introduced and investigated. These, which we call subspace preserving (SP) CPMs has, in the case of trace preserving CPMs, a simple interpretation as those which preserve probability weights on a given orthogonal sum decomposition of the Hilbert space of a quantum system. Several equivalent characterizations of SP CPMs are prov...

Purity and state fidelity of quantum channels

We associate with every quantum channel T acting on a Hilbert space H a pair of Hermitian operators, referred to as “Hamiltonians,” over the symmetric subspace of H^2. The expectation values of these Hamiltonians over symmetric product states give either the purity or the pure-state fidelity of T. This allows us to analytically compute these measures for a wide class of channels, and to identif...

Quantum error suppression with commuting Hamiltonians: two local is too local.

We consider error suppression schemes in which quantum information is encoded into the ground subspace of a Hamiltonian comprising a sum of commuting terms. Since such Hamiltonians are gapped, they are considered natural candidates for protection of quantum information and topological or adiabatic quantum computation. However, we prove that they cannot be used to this end in the two-local case....

Decoherence effects on quantum Fisher information of multi-qubit W states

Quantum fisher information of a parameter characterizing the sensitivity of a state with respect to parameter changes. In this paper, we study the quantum fisher information of the W state for four, five, six and seven particles in decoherence channels, such as amplitude damping, phase damping and depolarizing channel. Using Krauss operators for decoherence channels components, we investigate t...

Weak multiplicativity for random quantum channels

It is known that random quantum channels exhibit significant violations of multiplicativity of maximum output p-norms for any p > 1. In this work, we show that a weaker variant of multiplicativity nevertheless holds for these channels. For any constant p > 1, given a random quantum channel N (i.e. a channel whose Stinespring representation corresponds to a random subspace S), we show that with ...
