• Abstract: The celebrated theorem of Perron and Frobenius implies that spectra of classical Markov operators, represented by stochastic matrices, are restricted to the unit disk. This property holds also for spectra of quantum stochastic maps (quantum channels), which describe quantum Markovian evolution in discrete time. Moreover, the spectra of stochastic $N \times N$ matrices are additionally restricted to a subset of the unit disk, called Karpelevi\u{c} region, the shape of which depends on $N$. We address the question of whether the spectra of generators, which induce Markovian evolution in continuous time, can be bound in a similar way. We propose a rescaling that allows us to answer this question affirmatively. The eigenvalues of the rescaled classical generators are confined to the modified Karpelevi\u{c} regions, whereas the eigenvalues of the rescaled quantum generators fill the entire unit disk.

We show that one of these linearizations of the von-Neumann equation corresponds to the standard case in which the state vector becomes the column stacked elements of the density matrix. A quantum algorithm to simulate the dynamics of the density matrix is proposed.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.
