Abstract
Let be a trace-preserving, positivity-preserving (but not necessarily completely positive) linear map on the algebra of complex matrices, and let be any finite-dimensional completely positive map. For and , we prove that the maximal -norm of the product map is the product of the maximal -norms of and . Restricting to the class of completely positive maps, this settles the multiplicativity question for all qubit channels in the range of values .

14 pages; original proof simplified by using Gorini and Sudarshan's classification of extreme affine maps on R^3
