Endomorphisms and Quantum Operations

نویسنده

چکیده

We define a quantum operation as a special type of endomorphism between spaces of matrices. Representations of endomorphisms are considered and an isomorphism between higher dimensional matrices and endomorphisms is derived. We then employ this isomorphism to prove various results for endomorphisms and quantum operations. For example, an endomorphism is completely positive if and only if its corresponding matrix is positive. Although a few new results are proved, this is primarily a survey article that simplifies and unifies previous work on the subject.

Endomorphisms and automorphisms of locally covariant quantum field theories

In the framework of locally covariant quantum field theory, a theory is described as a functor from a category of spacetimes to a category of ∗-algebras. It is proposed that the global gauge group of such a theory can be identified as the group of automorphisms of the defining functor. Consequently, multiplets of fields may be identified at the functorial level. It is shown that locally covaria...

The Endomorphisms of the Lattice of Closed Convex Cones

The set of closed convex cones in R (d ≥ 3), with the operations of intersection and closed sum, is a lattice. We determine all endomorphisms of this lattice. As a consequence, we obtain a characterization of the duality of convex cones. MSC 2000: 52A20

Quasicompact and Riesz unital endomorphisms of real Lipschitz algebras of complex-valued functions

We first show that a bounded linear operator $ T $ on a real Banach space $ E $ is quasicompact (Riesz, respectively) if and only if $T': E_{mathbb{C}}longrightarrow E_{mathbb{C}}$ is quasicompact  (Riesz, respectively), where the complex Banach space $E_{mathbb{C}}$ is a suitable complexification of $E$ and $T'$ is the complex linear operator on $E_{mathbb{C}}$ associated with $T$. Next, we pr...

Endomorphisms of B(H

The unital endomorphisms of B(H) of (Powers) index n are classified by certain U(n)-orbits in the set of non-degenerate representations of the Cuntz algebra On on H. Using this, the corresponding conjugacy classes are identified, and a set of labels is given. This set of labels is P/ ∼ where P is a set of pure states on the UHFalgebra Mn∞ , and ∼ is a non-smooth equivalence on P . Several subse...

Noncommutative Topological Entropy of Endomorphisms of Cuntz Algebras

Noncommutative topological entropy estimates are obtained for polynomial gauge invariant endomorphisms of Cuntz algebras, generalising known results for the canonical shift endomorphisms. Exact values for the entropy are computed for a class of permutative endomorphisms related to branching function systems introduced and studied by Bratteli, Jorgensen and Kawamura. In [Vo] D.Voiculescu defined...
