Perturbation of the numerical range of unitary matrices

Quantum Physics 2023-04-12 v1

Abstract

In this work we show how to approach the problem of manimulating the numerical range of a unitary matrix. This task has far-reaching impact on the study of discrimination of quantum measurements. We achieve the aforementioned manipulation by introducing a method which allows us to find a unitary matrix whose numerical range contains the origin where at the same time the distance between unitary matrix and its perturbation is relative small in given metric.
