Purifying and Reversible Physical Maps — •Matthias Kleinmann, Hermann Kampermann, Tim Meyer, and Dagmar Bruß — Institut für Theoretische Physik III, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, D-40225 Düsseldorf, Germany
The laws of quantum mechanics only allow constant universal purifying
processes, i.e. any process which maps an unknown quantum state to a pure state
has to be constant. Furthermore, a universal reversible process cannot increase
the purity of any state. But it can be shown, that a restriction of the set of
input states makes purifying or reversible processes possible and can even
allow physical maps, which combine both properties.
