Moreover, we provide a simple example which shows that the factor $\\sqrt2$ on the right-hand side is optimal, and we conjecture that this inequality holds for every pair of channels.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-08-29T15:32:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "kretschmann-schlingemann-werner conjecture", "kraus rank", "simple example", "right-hand side", "inequality holds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 2, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
