Compatibility of covariant quantum channels with emphasis on Weyl symmetry

Quantum Physics 2019-10-02 v1

Abstract

Compatibility conditions of quantum channels featuring symmetry through covariance are studied. Compatibility here means the possibility of obtaining two or more channels through partial trace out of a broadcasting channel. We see that covariance conditions can be used to simplify compatibility conditions as the broadcasting channel can be assumed to be covariant in a particular way. A particular emphasis is on Weyl covariance and in determining compatibility conditions for Weyl-covariant channels. The concrete examples studied include the case of a non-compact continuous phase space and the case of a finite phase space.
