Abstract

We analyze the geometry on the space of non-unital phase-covariant qubit maps. Using the corresponding Choi-Jamio{\l}kowski states, we derive the Hilbert-Schmidt line and volume elements using the channel eigenvalues together with the parameter that characterizes non-unitality. We find the shapes and analytically compute the volumes of phase-covariant channels, in particular entanglement breaking and obtainable with time-local generators.
