Abstract:
We show that the complex projection of a completely positive quaternionic map
of quaternionic density matrices is a positive map in the space of complex
density matrices, and we briefly outline some of its properties. To
illustrate this result, we study the complex projection of a one-parameter
quaternionic unitary dynamics of a spin-1/2 quantum system.
Keywords:
open quantum system, positive map, quaternion.
