Structure and parametrization of stochastic maps of density matrices

Structure and parametrization of stochastic maps of density matrices

The most general evolution of the density matrix of a quantum system with a finite-dimensional state space is by stochastic maps which take a density matrix linearly into the set of density matrices. These dynamical stochastic maps form a linear convex set that may be viewed as supermatrices. The property …
