Local numerical range: a versatile tool in the theory of quantum information (2009)

Gawron, Piotr, Puchała, Zbigniew, Miszczak, Jarosław Adam, Skowronek, Łukasz, Choi, Man-Duen, Zyczkowski, Karol \.

We study operators acting on a composite Hilbert space and investigate their local numerical range, local spectral radius and local $C$--spectral radius. Concrete bounds for the local numerical range...

Abstract. We verify a conjecture on the structure of higher-rank numerical ranges for a wide class of unitary and normal matrices. Using analytic and geometric techniques, we show precisely how the...

The multiplicative domain in quantum error correction (2008)

Choi, Man-Duen, Johnston, Nathaniel, Kribs, David W.

We show that the multiplicative domain of a completely positive map yields a new class of quantum error correcting codes. In the case of a unital quantum channel, these are precisely the codes that...

Numerical Ranges and Dilations Dedicated to Professor Yik-Hoi Au-Yeung on the occasion of his retirement (2008)

Man-duen Choi

Denote by W (A) the numerical range of a bounded linear operator A. For two oper-ators A and B (which may act on different Hilbert spaces), we study the relation between the inclusion relation W (A)...

1 Let A and B be bounded linear operators acting on a Hilbert space H. It is shown that the triangular inequality serves as the ultimate estimate of the upper norm bound for the sum of two operators...

Norm bounds for summation of two normal matrices (2007)

Man-duen Choi, Chi-kwong Li

A sharp upper bound is obtained for [[A+ iB[[, where A and B are n x n Hermitian ma-trices satisfying a I _ A _ a2I and b I _ B _ bI. Similarly, an optimal bound is obtained /or IIU + VII, where U...

Corners of normal matrices (2007)

Bhatia, Rajendra, Choi, Man-Duen

We study various conditions on matrices $B$ and $C$ under which they can be the off-diagonal blocks of a partitioned normal matrix.

The C*-algebra of symmetric words in two universal unitaries (2006)

Choi, Man-Duen, Latremoliere, Frederic

We compute the K-theory of the C*-algebra of symmetric words in two universal unitaries. This algebra is the fixed point C*-algebra for the order-two automorphism of the full C*-algebra of the free...

C*-crossed-products by an order-two automorphism (2006)

Choi, Man-Duen, Latremoliere, Frederic

We describe the representation theory of C*-crossed-products of a unital C*-algebra A by the cyclic group of order 2. We prove that there are two main types of irreducible representations for the...

Crossed-product C*-algebras for conformal automorphisms of the disk (2005)

Choi, Man-Duen, Latremoliere, Frederic

We study the C*-algebra crossed-product of the closed unit disk by the action of one of its conformal automorphisms. After classifying the conformal automorphisms up to topological conjugacy, we...

Higher-Rank Numerical Ranges and Compression Problems (2005)

Choi, Man-Duen, Kribs, David W., Zyczkowski, Karol

We consider higher-rank versions of the standard numerical range for matrices. A central motivation for this investigation comes from quantum error correction. We develop the basic structure theory...

Quantum Error Correcting Codes From The Compression Formalism (2005)

Choi, Man-Duen, Kribs, David W., Zyczkowski, Karol

We solve the fundamental quantum error correction problem for bi-unitary channels on two-qubit Hilbert space. By solving an algebraic compression problem, we construct qubit codes for such channels...

A method to find quantum noiseless subsystems (2005)

Choi, Man-Duen, Kribs, David W.

We develop a structure theory for decoherence-free subspaces and noiseless subsystems that applies to arbitrary (not necessarily unital) quantum operations. The theory can be alternatively phrased in...

Constraint Unitary Dilations and Numerical Ranges (1999)

Man-duen Choi, Chi-kwong Li

It is shown that each contraction A on a Hilbert space H, with A + A I for some 2 R, has a unitary dilation U on H \Phi H satisfying U + U I. This is used to settle a conjecture of Halmos in the...
