SU(2) and entangled particles [closed]

We have two particles $A$ and $B$ in a maximally entangled state $|\Psi\rangle \in \cal{H}_A \times \cal{H}_B$ $$ \left|\Psi\right\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} ( \left| 0 \right\rangle_A\otimes \left| ...

Observable nearly commuting with a "complete" set of commuting observables

Consider the Hilbert space $H = E^{\otimes n}$ where $E=\mathbb{C}^2$. On $E$ we have an observable $O$ (i.e. a Hermitian matrix) that is diagonalizable in the standard basis with eigenvalues $1$ and ...

When is rank-1 perturbation to a positive operator still positive?

Let $A : \mathcal{H} \to \mathcal{H}$ and $B : \mathcal{H} \to \mathcal{H}$ be trace-class (hence compact) Hermitian operators on a separable Hilbert space. Assume that $A$ is strictly positive and ...

Reference on completely positive maps which are isometries

Let $\Phi:\mathcal{L}(H)\rightarrow \mathcal{L}(K)$ be a completely positive map sending positive self-adoint operators on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space $H$ to positive self-adoint operators on a ...

Are the Gell-Mann matrices extremal when used as Kraus operators for a quantum channel?

Landau and Streater proved that a set of Kraus operators, Ai, is extremal if and only if the set $\{A_{k}^{\dagger}A_{l}\}_{k,l \ldots N}$ are linearly independent. I have seen very convincing ...
