Characterizations of Strongly Entanglement Breaking channels for infinite-dimensional quantum systems

Abstract

Entanglement breaking (EB) channels, as completely positive and trace-preserving linear operators, sever the entanglement between the input system and other systems. In the realm of infinite-dimensional systems, a related concept known as strongly entanglement breaking (SEB) channels emerges. This paper delves into characterizations of SEB channels, delineating necessary and sufficient conditions for a channel to be classified as SEB, especially with respect to the commutativity of its range. Moreover, we demonstrate that every closed self-adjoint subspace of trace-zero operators, with the trace norm, is the null space of a SEB channel.
