Quantum channels preserving sigma-additivity and Ulam measurable cardinals
Abstract
This paper investigates the interplay between the properties of quantum states on the Hilbert space and the set-theoretic nature of the cardinal . We focus on the existence of singular -additive states~ -- functionals whose induced measures are -additive yet vanish on singletons. While the existence of such states is known to be equivalent to the Ulam measurability of , their structural and dynamical properties remain largely unexplored. We prove that any -additive state on the diagonal algebra is representable as a Pettis integral over a singular -additive measure, extending the classical representation theory to the non-normal sector. Furthermore, we construct a class of quantum channels using -complete ultrafilters that map normal states to singular -additive states, effectively <<archiving>> information into the singular part of the state space.
