Matrix N-dilations of quantum channels

Abstract: We study unital quantum channels which are obtained via partial trace of a

*

-automorphism of a finite unital matrix

*

-algebra. We prove that any such channel,

q

, on a unital matrix

*

-algebra,

m a t h c a l A

, admits a finite matrix

N -

dilation,

a l p h a_{N}

, for any natural number N. Namely,

a l p h a_{N}

is a

*

-automorphism of a larger bi-partite matrix algebra

m a t h c a l A o t i m e s m a t h c a l B

so that partial trace of

M

-fold self-compositions of

a l p h a_{N}

yield the

M

-fold self-compositions of the original quantum channel, for any

1 l e q M l e q N

. This demonstrates that repeated applications of the channel can be viewed as

*

-automorphic time evolution of a larger finite quantum system.
