Error Basis and Quantum Channel

Abstract: The Weyl operators give a convenient basis of

M_{n} (m a t h b b C)

which is also orthonormal with respect to the Hilbert-Schmidt inner product. The properties of such a basis can be generalised to the notion of a nice error basis(NEB), as introduced by E. Knill. We can use an NEB of

M_{n} (m a t h b b C)

to construct an NEB for

L i n (M_{n} (m a t h b b C))

, the space of linear maps on

M_{n} (m a t h b b C)

. Any linear map on

M_{n} (m a t h b b C)

will then correspond to a

n^{2} i m e s n^{2}

coefficient matrix in the basis decomposition with respect to such an NEB of

L i n (M_{n} (m a t h b b C))

. Positivity, complete (co)positivity or other properties of a linear map can be characterised in terms of such a coefficient matrix.
