It is shown that each positive map between matrix algebras is the sum of a maximal decomposable map and an atomic map which is both optimal and co-optimal. The result is studied in detail for the projection onto a spin factor.

AbstractWe prove that Choi's map in M3 cannot be written as the sum of a 2-positive map and a 2-copositive map. We also provide other examples of positive maps in Mn which cannot be written as the sum of an n-positive map and a 2-copositive map.

We study stable subspaces of positive extremal maps of finite dimensional matrix algebras that preserve trace and matrix identity (so-called bistochastic maps). We have established the existence of the isometric-sweeping decomposition for such maps. As the main result of the paper, we have shown that all extremal bistochastic maps acting on the algebra of matrices of size 3×3 fall into one of the three possible categories, depending on the form of the stable subspace of the isometric-sweeping decomposition. Our example of an extremal atomic positive map seems to be the first one that handles the case of that subspace being non-trivial. Lastly, we compute the entanglement witness associated with the extremal map and specify a large family of entangled states detected by it.

It is known that every semigroup of normal completely positive maps P = {Pt:t≥ 0} of ℬ(H), satisfying Pt(1) = 1 for every t ≥ 0, has a minimal dilation to an E0 acting on ℬ(K) for some Hilbert space K⊇H. The minimal dilation of P is unique up to conjugacy. In a previous paper a numerical index was introduced for semigroups of completely positive maps and it was shown that the index of P agrees with the index of its minimal dilation to an E0-semigroup. However, no examples were discussed, and no computations were made. In this paper we calculate the index of a unital completely positive semigroup whose generator is a bounded operator [Formula: see text] in terms of natural structures associated with the generator. This includes all unital CP semigroups acting on matrix algebras. We also show that the minimal dilation of the semigroup P={ exp tL:t≥ 0} to an E0-semigroup is is cocycle conjugate to a CAR/CCR flow.

We analyze Kadison-Schwarz approximation to positive maps in matrix algebras. This is an analogue of the well known structural physical approximation to positive maps used in entanglement theory. We study several known maps both decomposable (like transposition) and non-decomposable (like Choi map and its generalizations).
