• Abstract: Supermaps between quantum channels (completely positive trace-preserving (CPTP) maps of matrix algebras) were introduced in [Chiribella et al., EPL 83(3) (2008)]. In this work we generalise to supermaps between channels of any type; by channels we mean CPTP maps of finite-dimensional C*-algebras. Channels include POVMs, quantum instruments, classically controlled families of quantum channels, classical channels, quantum multimeters, and more. We show that deterministic supermaps between channels of any type can be realised using simple circuits, recovering the previous realisation theorems of [Chiribella et al., EPL 83(3) (2008)] (for deterministic supermaps between quantum channels) and [Bluhm et al. (2024)] (for deterministic supermaps between quantum multimeters) as special cases. To prove this realisation theorem we use the graphical calculus of the 2-category of finite-dimensional 2-Hilbert spaces; the paper includes an accessible and elementary introduction to this graphical calculus, and no prior knowledge of category theory is expected of the reader.

• Quantum Supermaps are Characterized by Locality [0.6445605125467572]
  We provide a new characterisation of quantum supermaps in terms of an axiom that refers only to sequential and parallel composition. We do so by providing a simple definition of locally-applicable transformation on a monoidal category. In our main technical contribution, we use this diagrammatic representation to show that locally-applicable transformations on quantum channels are in one-to-one correspondence with deterministic quantum supermaps.

  We propose a family of quantum maps that preserve or completely erase the components of a multi-qubit system. For the corresponding channels, it is shown that the preserved components can be interpreted as a finite vector subspace. We show that the obtained family of channels forms a semigroup and derive its generators.
