Almost All Quantum Channels Are Diagonalizable

Quantum Physics 2024-09-04 v3

Abstract

We prove the statement "The collection of all elements of S\mathcal S which have only simple eigenvalues is dense in S\mathcal S" for different sets S\mathcal S, including: all quantum channels, the unital channels, the positive trace-preserving maps, all Lindbladians (GKSL-generators), and all time-dependent Markovian channels. Therefore any element from each of these sets can always be approximated by diagonalizable elements of the same set to arbitrary precision.
