Some properties of generalized quantum operations. (English) Zbl 1270.81045
Summary: Let $$\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$$ be the set of all bounded linear operators on the separable Hilbert space $$\mathcal{H}$$. A (generalized) quantum operation is a bounded linear operator defined on $$\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$$, which has the form $$\varPhi_{\mathcal{A}}(X)=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}A_{i}XA_{i}^{*}$$, where $$A_{i}\in\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$$ ($$i=1,2,\dots$$) satisfy $$\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}A_{i}A_{i}^{*}\leq I$$ in the strong operator topology. In this paper, we establish the relationship between the (generalized) quantum operation $$\varPhi_{\mathcal{A}}$$ and its dual $$\varPhi_{\mathcal {A}}^{†}$$ with respect to the set of fixed points and the noiseless subspace. In particular, we also partially characterize the extreme points of the set of all (generalized) quantum operations and give some equivalent conditions for the correctable quantum channel.
