Quantum collections

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We develop the viewpoint that the opposite of the category of W*-algebras and unital normal *-homomorphisms is analogous to the category of sets and functions. For each pair of W*-algebras, we construct their free exponential, which in the context of this analogy corresponds to the collection of functions from one of these W*-algebras to the other. We also show that every unital normal completely positive map between W*-algebras arises naturally from a normal state on their free exponential.
