• Abstract summary: We study positive maps acting on a full matrix algebra over the reals. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a real map to admit a positive complexification. We show that the original PPT-squared conjecture implies a different conjecture for real maps.

• Abstract: The theory of positive maps plays a central role in operator algebras and functional analysis, and has countless applications in quantum information science. The theory was originally developed for operators acting on complex Hilbert spaces, and little is known about its variant on real Hilbert spaces. In this article we study positive maps acting on a full matrix algebra over the reals, pointing out a number of fundamental differences with the complex case and discussing their implications in quantum information. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a real map to admit a positive complexification, and connect the existence of positive maps with non-positive complexification with the existence of mixed states that are entangled in real Hilbert space quantum mechanics, but separable in the complex version, providing explicit examples both for the maps and for the states. Finally, we discuss entanglement breaking and PPT maps, and we show that a straightforward real version of the PPT-squared conjecture is false even in dimension 2. Nevertheless, we show that the original PPT-squared conjecture implies a different conjecture for real maps, in which the PPT property is replaced by a stronger property of invariance under partial transposition (IPT). When the IPT property is assumed, we prove an asymptotic version of the conjecture.

  Chirality is a gapped phase of matter in two spatial dimensions that can be manifested through non-zero thermal or electrical Hall conductance. We prove two no-go theorems that forbid such chirality for a quantum state in a finite dimensional local Hilbert space with strict area law entanglement entropies.

  Banach operator ideals are lurking in the foundations and philosophy of quantum physics and quantum information theory. We establish a canonical isomorphism between the Hilbert spaces $Hotimes (K otimes L)$ and $(H otimes K) otimes L$ (Theorem 3.8) and revisit the role of trace class operators. A few applications are specified, including the appropriateness of the class of Hilbert-Schmidt operators and an implied Banach operator ideal representation of the tensor product of two complex spaces $H otimes K$ (Proposition 3.4) and
