Complete Classification of Directed Quantum Graphs on M2

Abstract

In 2022, Gromada and Matsuda classified undirected quantum graphs on the matrix algebra M2M_2. Later, Wasilweski provided a solid theory of directed quantum graphs which was formerly only established for undirected quantum graphs. Using this framework we extend the results of Matsuda and Gromada, and present a complete classification of directed quantum graphs on M2M_2. Most prominently, we observe that there is a far bigger range of directed quantum graphs than of undirected quantum graphs on M2M_2. Moreover, for quantum graphs on a nontracial quantum set (M2,ψ)(M_2, \psi) we illustrate the difference between GNS- and KMS-undirected quantum graphs.
