We investigate a two-parameter family of linear maps on matrix algebras, constructed as diagonal perturbations of classical Tomiyama maps. Employing the Choi matrix method alongside block-positivity techniques, we derive explicit necessary…

The concept of the {\em half density matrix} is proposed. It unifies the quantum states which are described by density matrices and physical processes which are described by completely positive maps. With the help of the half-density-matrix…

We show that every entanglement with positive partial transpose may be constructed from an indecomposable positive linear map between matrix algebras.

We initiate a study of linear maps on $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ that have the property that they factor through a tracial von Neumann algebra $(\mathcal{A,\tau})$ via operators $Z\in M_n(\mathcal{A})$ whose entries consist of positive elements from…

Linear maps of matrices describing evolution of density matrices for a quantum system initially entangled with another are identified and found to be not always completely positive. They can even map a positive matrix to a matrix that is…

Let $H$ and $K$ be (finite or infinite dimensional) complex Hilbert spaces. A characterization of positive completely bounded normal linear maps from ${\mathcal B}(H)$ into ${\mathcal B}(K)$ is given, which particularly gives a…

We introduce a new family of indecomposable positive linear maps based on entangled quantum states. Central to our construction is the notion of an unextendible product basis. The construction lets us create indecomposable positive linear…

We study families of positive and completely positive maps acting on a bipartite system $\mathbb{C}^M\otimes \mathbb{C}^N$ (with $M\leq N$). The maps have a property that when applied to any state (of a given entanglement class) they result…

For a class of linear maps on a von Neumann factor, we associate two objects, bounded operators and trace class operators, both of which play the roles of Choi matrices. Each of them is positive if and only if the original map on the factor…

A family of linear positive maps in the algebra of $3 \times 3$ complex matrices proposed recently in Bera et al. arXiv:2212.03807 is further analyzed. It provides a generalization of a seminal Choi nondecomposable extremal map in $M_3$. We…

We construct a family of positive but not completely positive linear maps acting on four dimensional space. We employ these maps to detect bound entanglement in high dimensional quantum systems.

We investigate linear maps between matrix algebras that remain positive under tensor powers, i.e., under tensoring with $n$ copies of themselves. Completely positive and completely co-positive maps are trivial examples of this kind. We show…
