While it is adequate to describe classical physical systems using appropriate positive maps, it is known, however, that these type of maps are not sufficient to describe quantum communication channels. In this chapter, we give a definition of completely positive maps from one -algebra of bounded linear operators to another. Characterizations and relevant properties of completely positive maps in terms of the Stinepring theorem and Kraus representation are also given. It is shown that the positivity condition of maps is weaker than the complete positivity condition in general. However, these two positivity conditions coincide when one of the -algebra is finite-dimensional or when the map under consideration is ...
