Purity and State Fidelity of Quantum Channels via Hamiltonians

arXiv:quant-ph/0403074 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.70.012315

Abstract

We associate to every quantum channel acting on a Hilbert space a pair of Hamiltonian operators over the symmetric subspace of . The expectation values of these Hamiltonians over symmetric product states give either the purity or the pure state fidelity of . This allows us to analytically compute these measures for a wide class of channels, and to identify states that are optimal with respect to these measures.
