Unital quantum operators on the Bloch ball and Bloch region
P. S. Bourdon, H. T. Williams
abstract: For one qubit systems, we present a short, elementary argument characterizing
unital quantum operators in terms of their action on Bloch vectors. We then
show how our approach generalizes to multi-qubit systems, obtaining
inequalities that govern when a ``diagonal'' superoperator on the Bloch region
is a quantum operator. These inequalities are the n-qubit analogue of the
Algoet-Fujiwara conditions. Our work is facilitated by an analysis of
operator-sum decompositions in which negative summands are allowed.
