We study equivariant linear maps between finite-dimensional matrix algebras, as introduced by Bhat. These maps satisfy an algebraic property which makes it easy to study their positivity or k-positivity. They are therefore particularly…
We introduce a generalization of the set of completely positive matrices that we call "pairwise completely positive" (PCP) matrices. These are pairs of matrices that share a joint decomposition so that one of them is necessarily positive…
We study bipartite unitary operators which stay invariant under the local actions of diagonal unitary and orthogonal groups. We investigate structural properties of these operators, arguing that the diagonal symmetry makes them suitable for…

We introduce the notion of one-sided mapping cones of positive linear maps between matrix algebras. These are convex cones of maps that are invariant under compositions by completely positive maps from either the left or right side. The…
In this semi-expository paper, we first explain key notions from current quantum information theory and criteria for them in a coherent way. These include separability/entanglement, Schmidt numbers of bi-partite states and block-positivity,…
We study positive maps of B(K) into B(H) for finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces K and H. Our main emphasis is on how Choi matrices and estimates of their norms with respect to mapping cones reflect various properties of the maps. Special…
If the symmetry, (an operator $J$ satisfying $J=J^*=J^{-1}$) which defines the Krein space, is replaced by a (not necessarily self-adjoint) unitary, then we have the notion of an $S$-space which was introduced by Szafraniec. In this paper,…
In this paper, we discuss positive maps induced by (irreducibly) covariant linear operators for finite groups. The application of group theory methods allows deriving some new results of a different kind. In particular, a family of…
The dual of a matrix ordered space has a natural matrix ordering that makes the dual space matrix ordered as well. The purpose of these notes is to give a condition that describes when the linear map taking a basis of the n by n matrices to…
We obtain an explicit characterization of linear maps, in particular, quantum channels, which are covariant with respect to an irreducible representation ($U$) of a finite group ($G$), whenever $U \otimes U^c$ is simply reducible (with…
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…
By the Choi matrix criteria it is easy to determine if a specific linear matrix map is completely positive, but to establish whether a linear matrix map is positive is much less straightforward. In this paper we consider classes of linear…
The Choi representation of completely positive (CP) maps, i.e. quantum channels is often used in the context of quantum information and computation as it is easy to work with. It is a correspondence between CP maps and quantum states also…
We prove that the PPT$^2$ conjecture holds for linear maps between matrix algebras which are covariant under the action of the diagonal unitary group. Many salient examples, like the Choi-type maps, depolarizing maps, dephasing maps,…
We investigate the space of quantum operations, as well as the larger space of maps which are positive, but not completely positive. A constructive criterion for decomposability is presented. A certain class of unistochastic operations,…
