Imprinting Complete Information about a Quantum Channel on its Output State
Giacomo Mauro D’Ariano, Paoloplacido Lo Presti · Physical Review Letters · 2003
We introduce a novel property of bipartite quantum states, which we call faithfulness, and we say that a state is faithful when acting with a channel on one of the two quantum systems; the output state carries complete information about the channel. The concept of faithfulness can also be extended to sets of states, when the output states altogether carry a complete imprinting of the channel. Measures of degrees of faithfulness are proposed.
