Maximal exponent of the Lorentz cones

Abstract

We show that the maximal exponent (i.e., the minimum number of iterations required for a primitive map to become strictly positive) of the n-dimensional Lorentz cone is equal to n. As a byproduct, we show that the optimal exponent in the quantum Wielandt inequality for qubit channels is equal to 3.
