Denote by  <math display="inline">\mathcal{H}</math> a complex Hilbert space. For simplicity, we assume that it is finite dimensional. Pure states of a system <math>S</math> are given by normalized vectors of  <math display="inline">\mathcal{H}</math> and mixed states by density operators (positive semi-definite operators with unit trace). The space of density operators is denoted by <math>S</math> (<math display="inline">\mathcal{H}</math>). The space of all linear operators in <math display="inline">\mathcal{H}</math> is denoted by the symbol <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})</math> . In turn, this is a linear space. Moreover, <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})</math> is the complex Hilbert space with the scalar product, <math display="inline"><A|B>=TrA^*B</math>. We consider linear operators acting in <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})</math>. They are called ''superoperators.''  | Denote by  <math display="inline">\mathcal{H}</math> a complex Hilbert space. For simplicity, we assume that it is finite dimensional.
