Equivalence of states and bimodule quantum channels
We study the action of quantum channels on states on a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ with conserved quantities encoded by a subalgebra $\mathcal{N}$. We define a phase as an equivalence class of normal states on $\mathcal{M}$ under the action of quantum channels preserving $\mathcal{N}$. First, we establish a relat...
