This group provides a direct generalization of the quaternion group. In particular, we analyze the irreducibly covariant quantum channels; that is, the completely positive and trace-preserving linear maps. Interestingly, imposing additional symmetries leads to the so-called generalized Pauli channels, which were recently considered in the context of the non-Markovian quantum evolution. Finally, we provide examples of irreducibly covariant positive but not necessarily completely positive maps.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-11-29T12:45:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum channels irreducibly covariant", "finite group", "weyl operators", "non-markovian quantum evolution", "irreducibly covariant quantum channels" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
