Superoperator
text:
In physics, a superoperator is a linear operator acting on a vector space of linear operators. Sometimes the term refers more specially to a completely positive map which also preserves or does not increase the trace of its argument. This specialized meaning is used extensively in the field of quantum computing, especially quantum programming, as they characterise mappings between density matrices. The use of the super- prefix here is in no way related to its other use in mathematical physics. T
