Abstract: We denote by Mk the set of k by k matrices with complex entries. We consider quantum channels phiL of the form: given a measurable function L:MkoMk and a measure mu on Mk we define the linear operator phiL:MkoMk, by the law ho,o,phiL(ho)=intMkL(v)hoL(v)dagger,dm(v). On a previous work the authors show that for a fixed measure mu it is generic on the function L the Phi-Erg property (also irreducibility). Here we will show that the purification property is also generic on L for a fixed mu. Given L and mu there are two related stochastic process: one takes values on the projective space P(Ck) and the other on matrices in Mk. The Phi-Erg property and the purification condition are good hypothesis for the discrete time evolution given by the natural transition probability. In this way it will follow that generically on L, if int|L(v)|2log|L(v)|,dmu(v)<infty, then the Lyapunov exponents infty>gamma1geqgamma2geq...geqgammakgeq−infty are well defined. On the previous work it was presented the concepts of entropy of a channel and of Gibbs channel; and also an example (associated to a stationary Markov chain) where this definition of entropy (for a quantum channel) matches the Kolmogorov-Shanon definition of entropy. We estimate here the larger Lyapunov exponent for the above mentioned example and we show that it is equal to −frac12,h, where h is the entropy of the associated Markov probability.
