| Abstract: | In this article, a brief survey of recent results on linear preserver problems and quantum information science is given. In addition, characterization is obtained for linear operators φ on mn?×?mn Hermitian matrices such that φ(A???B) and A???B have the same spectrum for any m?×?m Hermitian A and n?×?n Hermitian B. Such a map has the form A???B???U(?1(A)????2(B))U* for mn?×?mn Hermitian matrices in tensor form A???B, where U is a unitary matrix, and for j?∈?{1,?2}, ? j is the identity map?X???X or the transposition map?X???X t . The structure of linear maps leaving invariant the spectral radius of matrices in tensor form A???B is also obtained. The results are connected to bipartite (quantum) systems and are extended to multipartite systems. |
