The author, a leading authority on the subject, sets out numerous results previously unpublished in book form. In addition to outlining the properties and structures of positive linear maps of operator algebras into the bounded operators on a Hilbert space, he guides readers through proofs of the Stinespring theorem and its applications to inequalities for positive maps.  The text examines the maps’ positivity properties, as well as their associated linear functionals together with their density operators. It features special sections on extremal positive maps and Choi matrices. In sum, this is a vital publication that covers a full spectrum of matters relating to positive linear maps, of which a large proportion is relevant and applicable to today’s quantum information theory. The latter sections of the book present the material in finite dimensions, while the text as a whole appeals to a wider and more general readership by keeping the mathematics as elementary as possible throughout.  .Springer Monographs in Mathematics,1439-7382Operator algebrasC*-algebrasOperator algebras.C*-algebras.512.9/4512.94Strmer Erling598654MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438151503321Positive Linear Maps of Operator Algebras2507403UNINA
