Abstract

This thesis investigates the preservation of fundamental quantum properties under noisy quantum processes. Motivated by the challenges of maintaining coherence and information integrity in realistic quantum systems, we study three distinct structural properties: phase retrievability, orbit injectivity, and fidelity preservation. Each property reflects a unique facet of how quantum information can be robustly encoded, distinguished, or compared in the presence of environmental interactions.

In the first part of the thesis, we analyze phase retrievable quantum channels which allow recovery of a quantum state up to a global phase. We provide structural characterizations using the Kraus representation and the joint spectrum of the Kraus operators. We then extend this study to orbit-injective channels, which distinguish quantum states up to more general group actions. This generalization captures symmetry-induced ambiguities and deepens the understanding of information distinguishability in structured quantum systems.

The second part focuses on fidelity, a widely used measure of quantum similarity. We explore conditions under which mixed unitary quantum channels preserve fidelity between quantum states. These investigations reveal how fidelity preservation can constrain the structure of a quantum channel, providing insight into error tolerance and stability in quantum communication.

Together, these results contribute to a unified perspective on how different aspects of quantum information-state reconstruction, distinguishability, and similarity-can be maintained under noise, offering both theoretical insight and tools for practical quantum technologies.
