Questions and Answers

Which conditions must a density operator satisfy to be associated with an ensemble?

  • Trace and Hermiticity conditions
  • Trace and invertibility conditions
  • Positivity and invertibility conditions
  • Trace and positivity conditions (correct)

What is the significance of the trace condition for a density operator?

  • It determines the expectation value of the operator
