Von Neumann entropy-preserving quantum operations

Abstract: For a given quantum state

h o

and two quantum operations

P h i

and

P s i

, the information encoded in the quantum state

h o

is quantified by its von Neumann entropy

S (h o)

. By the famous Choi-Jamio{l}kowski isomorphism, the quantum operation

P h i

can be transformed into a bipartite state, the von Neumann entropy

S^{m a t h r m m a p} (P h i)

of the bipartite state describes the decoherence induced by

P h i

. In this Letter, we characterize not only the pairs

(P h i, h o)

which satisfy

S (P h i (h o)) = S (h o)

, but also the pairs

(P h i, P s i)

which satisfy

S^{m a t h r m m a p} (P h i c i r c P s i) = S^{m a t h r m m a p} (P s i)

.
