Totally Positive Density Matrices and Linear Preservers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The intersection between the set of totally nonnegative matrices, which are of interest in many areas of matrix theory and its applications, and the set of density matrices, which provide the mathematical description of quantum states, are investigated. The single qubit case is characterized, and several equivalent conditions for a quantum channel to preserve the set in that case are given. Higher dimensional cases are also discussed.

On linear preservers of sgut-majorization on $textbf{M}_{n,m}$
Abstract. Let Mn;m be the set of n-by-m matrices with entries inthe field of real numbers. A matrix R in Mn = Mn;n is a generalizedrow substochastic matrix (g-row substochastic, for short) if Re e, where e = (1; 1; : : : ; 1)t. For X; Y 2 Mn;m, X is said to besgut-majorized by Y (denoted by X sgut Y ) if there exists ann-by-n upper triangular g-row substochastic matrix R such thatX = RY . This ...
متن کاملLinear preservers of g-row and g-column majorization on M_{n,m}
Let A and B be n × m matrices. The matrix B is said to be g-row majorized (respectively g-column majorized) by A, if every row (respectively column) of B, is g-majorized by the corresponding row (respectively column) of A. In this paper all kinds of g-majorization are studied on Mn,m, and the possible structure of their linear preservers will be found. Also all linear operators T : Mn,m ---> Mn...
متن کاملLinear maps preserving or strongly preserving majorization on matrices
For $A,Bin M_{nm},$ we say that $A$ is left matrix majorized (resp. left matrix submajorized) by $B$ and write $Aprec_{ell}B$ (resp. $Aprec_{ell s}B$), if $A=RB$ for some $ntimes n$ row stochastic (resp. row substochastic) matrix $R.$ Moreover, we define the relation $sim_{ell s} $ on $M_{nm}$ as follows: $Asim_{ell s} B$ if $Aprec_{ell s} Bprec_{ell s} A.$ This paper characterizes all linear p...
متن کاملThe witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and its preservers
One of unsolved problems in quantum measurement theory is to characterize coexistence of quantum effects. In this paper, applying positive operator matrix theory, we give a mathematical characterization of the witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and obtain a series of properties of coexistence. We also devote to characterizing bijective morphisms on quantum effects leaving the witness...
