Abstract: Denote Mk the set of complex k by k matrices. We will analyze here quantum channels phiL of the following kind: given a measurable function L:MkoMk and the measure mu on Mk we define the linear operator phiL:MkoMk, via the expression ho,o,phiL(ho)=intMkL(v)hoL(v)dagger,dm(v). A recent paper by T. Benoist, M. Fraas, Y. Pautrat, and C. Pellegrini is our starting point. They considered the case where L was the identity. Under some mild assumptions on the quantum channel phiL we analyze the eigenvalue property for phiL and we define entropy for such channel. For a fixed mu (the extit{a priori} measure) and for a given a Hamiltonian H:MkoMk we present a version of the Ruelle Theorem: a variational principle of pressure (associated to such H) related to an eigenvalue problem for the Ruelle operator. We introduce the concept of Gibbs channel. We also show that for a fixed mu (with more than one point in the support) the set of L such that it is phi-Erg (also irreducible) for mu is a generic set. We describe a related process Xn, ninmathbbN, taking values on the projective space P(Ck) and analyze the question of the existence of invariant probabilities. We also consider an associated process hon, ninmathbbN, with values on mathcalDk (mathcalDk is the set of density operators). Via the barycenter we associate the invariant probabilities mentioned above with the density operator which is fixed for phiL.
