Algebraic and geometric structures inside the Birkhoff polytope [PDF]
The Birkhoff polytope $\mathcal{B}_d$ consisting of all bistochastic matrices of order $d$ assists researchers from many areas, including combinatorics, statistical physics and quantum information. Its subset $\mathcal{U}_d$ of unistochastic matrices, determined by squared moduli of unitary matrices, is of a particular importance for quantum theory as ...
