Nullspaces of Entanglement Breaking Channels and Applications

Abstract

We investigate the nullspace structures of entanglement breaking channels, and related applications. We show that every operator space of trace zero matrices is the nullspace of an entanglement breaking channel. We derive a test for mixed unitarity of quantum channels based on complementary channel behaviour and entanglement breaking channel nullspaces. We identify conditions that guarantee the existence of private algebras for certain classes of entanglement breaking channels.
