In abstract algebra, a unital map on a C*-algebra is a map ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } which preserves the identity element:
This condition appears often in the context of completely positive maps, especially when they represent quantum operations.
If ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } is completely positive, it can always be represented as
. In this case, the unital condition can be expressed as
