I am currently learning about quantum channels and am sadly stuck at a rudimentary problem, where I don’tdon't understand, how to find the Kraus Matricesmatrices of a quantum channel:.
The amplitude damping channel is described by the following action on the computational basis states:
\begin{aligned} \mathcal E: |0\rangle \otimes |0\rangle &\mapsto |0\rangle \otimes |0\rangle, \\ \mathcal E: |1\rangle \otimes |0\rangle &\mapsto \sqrt{1-p} |1\rangle \otimes |0\rangle + \ \sqrt{p} |0\rangle \otimes |1\rangle. \end{aligned}
Now unfortunately I don’t know where to start to find the Kraus operators. Also, I was wondering how I could check if this evolution takes place unitarelyunitarily?
Thanks a lot for all hints in advance!
