Abstract: It is well-known that every polyhedral cone is finitely generated (i.e. polytopal), and vice versa. Surprisingly, the two notions differ almost always for non-commutative versions of such cones. This was obtained as a byproduct in an earlier paper. In this note we give a direct and constructive proof of the statement. Our proof also yields a surprising quantitative result: the difference of the two notions can always be seen at the first level of non-commutativity, i.e. for matrices of size
