Finding the eigenvalues of a qutrit state

Maybe you forgot about the coefficient $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$. The correct reduced density matrix is $$\frac12 (\left|1\right>\left<1\right| + \left|2\right>\left<2\right|)$$

How to find density matrix of 3 qubit W state?

We can get the density matrix $\rho$ for a pure state $|\psi\rangle$ using $$\rho=|\psi\rangle\langle\psi|$$ And to write $\rho$ using the Pauli basis $\left\{ P_i \right\}$, $$\rho = \sum_{i=0}^N \...

Is possible to write a separable state as a finite or countable infinite sum of product states?

Yes, you can always write an integral of separable states as a (finite) convex combination of product states, owing to the fact that the set of separable states is compact. A quick way to see this is ...

QISKIT: ValueError: too many subscripts in einsum DensityMatrix()

Try to transpile your circuit into 1- and 2-qubit gates: qc = transpile(qc, basis_gates=['cx', 'u']) rho = DensityMatrix(qc) This issue happens because Numpy ...

Derivation of Choi-Jamiolkowski isomorphism

It's easier to work with matrix units $E_{ij} = |i\rangle \langle j|$. In particular, we have $$ |\Omega\rangle \langle \Omega| = \sum_{i,j}c_i\overline{c_j} E_{ij} \otimes E_{ij}\tag{1}\,. $$ The ...

How to get the Kraus operator $M_0=\sqrt{1-p}\, I$ for the depolarizing channel, from its isometric representation?

The unitary representation specifies how the isometry $U$ acts on pure states. The channel $\Phi$ is related to $U$ by $\Phi(\rho)=\operatorname{tr}_E[U\rho U^\dagger]$. Notice that on pure states ...
