Divisibility of qubit channels and dynamical maps [PDF]
Quantum, 2019 The concept of divisibility of dynamical maps is used to introduce an analogous concept for quantum channels by analyzing the simulability of channels by means of dynamical maps.

A completely positive map associated with a positive map [PDF]
Pacific Journal of Mathematics, 2011 We show that each positive map from B(K) to B(H) with K and H finite dimensional Hilbert spaces is a scalar multiple of a map of the form $Tr - ψ$ with $ψ$ completely positive. This is used to give necessary and sufficient conditions for maps to be C-positive for a large class of mapping cones; in particular we apply the results to k-positive maps.

Universal Properties in Quantum Theory [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2019 We argue that notions in quantum theory should have universal properties in the sense of category theory. We consider the completely positive trace preserving (CPTP) maps, the basic notion of quantum channel.

Pictures of complete positivity in arbitrary dimension [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2012 Two fundamental contributions to categorical quantum mechanics are presented. First, we generalize the CP-construction, that turns any dagger compact category into one with completely positive maps, to arbitrary dimension.

Causality and the complete positivity of classical polarization maps [PDF]
Optics Letters, 2011 Mueller and Jones matrices have been thoroughly studied as mathematical tools to describe the manipulation of the polarization state of classical light. In particular, the most general physical transformation on the polarization state has been represented as an ensemble of Jones matrices, as ∑iV(i)ΦV(i)(†).

Completely positive classical structures and sequentializable quantum protocols [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2012 We study classical structures in various categories of completely positive morphisms: on sets and relations, on cobordisms, on a free dagger compact category, and on Hilbert spaces.

Axiomatizing complete positivity [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2015 There are two ways to turn a categorical model for pure quantum theory into one for mixed quantum theory, both resulting in a category of completely positive maps.

Entanglement-breaking superchannels [PDF]
Quantum, 2020 In this paper we initiate the study of entanglement-breaking (EB) superchannels. These are processes that always yield separable maps when acting on one side of a bipartite completely positive (CP) map.

Mixed quantum states in higher categories [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2014 There are two ways to describe the interaction between classical and quantum information categorically: one based on completely positive maps between Frobenius algebras, the other using symmetric monoidal 2-categories.
