Abstract

Given two sets of quantum states {A1,..., Ak} and {B1,..., Bk}, represented as sets as density matrices, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of a physical transformation T, represented as a trace-preserving completely positive map, such that T(Ai) = Bi for i = 1,..., k. General completely positive maps without the trace-preserving requirement, and unital completely positive maps transforming the states are also considered.
