1302.1783 (James M. McCracken)

Quantum Channel Negativity as a Measure of System-Bath Coupling and
Correlation
   [PDF]

James M. McCracken
Complete positivity is a ubiquitous assumption in the study of quantum systems interacting with the environment, but the lack of complete positivity of a quantum evolution (called the "negativity") can be used as a measure of the system-bath coupling and correlation. The negativity can be computed from the Choi representation of a channel, is always defined and bounded, and can be used to understand environmentally induced noise in a quantum system.
